Why do you do Communion every sunday?

At Rosebrook, baptized believers gather each week to celebrate the Lord’s Supper as a visible expression of God’s grace and our unity in Christ. This practice stands at the heart of our worship, reminding us that the gospel is not only heard but tasted, touched, and shared among the people of God.

1. Why Do We Celebrate Communion Every Week?

We observe weekly communion because it reflects both the rhythm of the early church and the convictions of the Reformed tradition. Acts 2:42 and Acts 20:7 show that the first believers “devoted themselves… to the breaking of bread,” linking the Lord’s Supper with regular Lord’s Day worship. The Protestant Reformer, John Calvin, longed for this same pattern, teaching that frequent communion keeps believers anchored in Christ’s promises and nourished by His Spirit.

2. What Does Communion Mean for Us?

In the Reformed tradition, communion isn’t merely a memorial but a real means of grace—through faith, believers are spiritually fed with Christ’s body and blood (1 Cor. 10:16). Weekly participation reminds us that we depend on Christ daily for forgiveness, renewal, and strength. It also unites us as one body, proclaiming together, “The Lord’s death until He comes” (1 Cor. 11:26).

3. How Does Weekly Communion Shape Our Worship?

The Lord’s Table is the culmination of the gospel word proclaimed. Each Sunday, we move from hearing God’s promises to receiving them physically, as God renews His covenant with His people. Weekly communion centers our worship not on human performance but on divine grace, drawing us continually to the cross and resurrection of Christ.
