Thoughts of the Communion Service When believers meet for the Lord's Supper it is often a time of deep solemnity. And while it is an occasion for serious though and meditation, it can also be a time of thanksgiving as we express our gratitude for what Jesus did for us.

We can praise God because He paid our penalty for sin and then arose triumphantly from the tomb; because He lives and, through the Holy Spirit, is always with us. From the Foreword: The material in this book has grown out of the author's more than 35 years of pastoral experience, study, and prayer. He has endeavored to keep the subject matter practical and spiritual.

The author believes the Communion services should be times of joyful celebration. He hopes the material in his book will help the reader look forward with eager anticipation and gladness to each Communion service, and especially to that glorious day when we shall gather around that great table in our Lord's eternal kingdom.
