Communion

Every Wednesday evening and the 4th Sunday of every month, Hawthorne Lane Church celebrates the sacrament of Holy Communion.

The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, the Sacrament of the Altar, the Blessed Sacrament, the Lord’s Supper and other names, invites us to focus on the self-giving of the Holy God, which makes the sacrament an occasion of grace, and on the holiness of our communion with God and one another.  Eucharist, from the Greek word for thanksgiving, reminds us that the sacrament is thanksgiving to God for the gifts of creation and salvation.   It is the regular practice of eating and drinking of consecrated bread and wine in the worshiping community.”
