Term | Definition |
United Methodist: | Like all groups and organizations, churches have specific brands that they are a part of. At one time, many of the denominations were very different (Baptist, Luthern, Catholic) however, the alegiances to these names is more of an anchor from the past. The United Methodist Church has a proud heritage of serving God and we are proud to be a part of that denomination. However, we are neither a better nor a worse denomination or church than others, simply different. |
Communion: | When
Jesus Christ was walking the earth, he started a meal with his friends
called Communion. This meal is to be eaten when we remember
Jesus
and what he means to us. We participate in Communion in a
manner
called INTINCTION. This is where one breaks off a piece of
bread
and dips that piece in a cup of juice. The bread represents
Jesus
body that was broken on the cross. The juice represents Jesus
blood that was spilt for the forgiveness of our sins. If you have more questions, please email Pastor Andy. |
