Religion & Spirituality

Breaking of Bread

This service is a traditional, contemplative communion service. It is a time devoted to remembering Jesus’ death and all that it means for us. The service starts with someone sharing a thought from the Bible which is then followed by open worship, in which people in the congregation contribute Bible readings, hymns and prayers. During this service someone will give thanks for the bread and wine before we take them together.
