Lord’s Supper – First Reformed Church of Scotia

We celebrate the The Lord’s Supper, also often called Communion, either on the first Sunday of the month or on Sundays of particular significance. The 2024 Communion schedule is as follows:

January 7^th	Baptism of the Lord Sunday
February 11^th	Transfiguration Sunday
March 3rd	1^st Sunday of the month
March 28^th	Maundy Thursday
May 19^th	Pentecost
August 4^th	1^st Sunday of the month
September 8th	1^st Sunday after Labor Day
October 6^th	World Communion Sunday
November 24^th	Christ the King Sunday

We welcome all worshipers who desire to live as a disciple of Jesus to share the Lord’s Supper, even those who are not members of our congregation. We also welcome children to the Lord’s Table. When parents sense that their child is ready to participate in the sacrament in a way appropriate to the child’s age, we ask that they consult with our pastor so that together pastor and parents can help make a child’s first communion significant for the child.

Usually, we leave our pews and go forward to the communion table to be served by pastor and elders. When we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, children who do not yet take communion are also invited forward to receive a blessing by our pastor or elders.
