Communion Season is Over

The communion season is now passed. It has been our practice

in the NWUSF to work out the calendar so that all the churches have

the communion service within the first month of the quarter. This

provides us with the privilege of participating in the communion

service together. It was an opportunity for us all to reconnect with

the reasons for why we committed our lives to the Lord in baptism.

The salvation of men depends upon a continual application to

their hearts of the cleansing blood of Christ. Therefore, the LordsSupper was not to be observed only occasionally or yearly, but more

frequently than the annual passover. This solemn ordinance

commemorates a far greater event than the deliverance of the

children of Israel from Egypt. That deliverance was typical of the

great atonement which Christ made by the sacrifice of His own life

for the final deliverance of His people.Bible Commentary,vol. 6, p.

1090.

The next communion season will be in April. Please arrange

your calendar to be sure that you and all local church members are

present for this important memorial.Sometimes it seems that we can skip these moments, but when

we do we feel the loss. In reviewing the membership records recently

some of the local churches

discovered members who

have not taken communion in

some time. What a loss for

them! In doing this they are

missing the opportunity to

give thanks to the Lord for

the great deliverance offered

by the atonement of Jesus

Christ.

This weeks service will be presented by Huldeni Souza under the

title The Two Covenants. The service is based on the text found in

Exodus 19:7-8. And Moses came and called for the elders of the

people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord

commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All

that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words

of the people unto the Lord.
