'Celebrating' and 'Holy Communion' are not always used in the same
sentence about what can be a solemn and awe-inspiring ceremony. But
it is important to acknowledge that there is joy in believing.
Death has been overcome and there is a new creation. The Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper draws us, by the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, into a feasting where our sinful past must be laid aside
and the life of the reign of God fully anticipated. This book has
been written both for ministers and people in the congregations of
the Church of Scotland. Its aim is to unpack the riches contained
within the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper and offer material that
can help to energise and deepen consciousness of how the body of
Christ - which is the Church - is an engagement of all playing
their respective parts, to the glory of God. Celebrating Holy
Communion is a full commentary on one characteristic order for the
celebration of Holy Communion in the Church of Scotland. Each
section includes material to prompt and encourage discussion among
ministers and also among congregations. We may never aspire to
comprehend what is at the heart a mystery - the gift of God beyond
our understanding. But this book is offered as a practical tool for
the Church's mission in which there is a treasured place for the
Sacrament. Through its focus on the Lord's Supper, it enables all
to engage with the nature, health and renewal of our local Church
communities.
