Remember Me (Communion)
Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper, commanding His followers to eat bread and drink the cup in remembrance of Him. Communion is a sacred act of remembering - it brings Christ's sacrifice into the present moment and connects believers across time. It matters because we are forgetful people who need regular reminders of the grace that saved us. Participating in communion keeps the cross central to your faith, renews gratitude, and proclaims the gospel until He returns.
