Big news for our worship services: as of September 7th, we are changing our frequency of communion to weekly. This change will add depth and richness to services, and it will bring us into a more faithful expression of Christian worship, one that connects with the Reformation heritage we claim. Today, the church that is best-known for celebrating weekly communion is the Roman Catholic Church. Yet, this was not the case until after the Protestant Reformation, which, although rejected by Rome, still influenced Rome dramatically. One of the protests of the medieval church by Protestants was that communion was typically offered to laity only once per year at Easter, it was not understood (since the service was in Latin), and the only element offered was the wafer. This led to Reformation churches advocating the celebration of the Lord’s Supper on a weekly basis.
