St. Mark's Church,
Marske-by-the-Sea
Holy Communion, Mass, Lord's Supper, Eucharist - what is it?
Since the earliest days of the Apostles, Christian people have gathered together for worship, remembering Jesus by the sharing of bread and wine. This act of worship has many names: the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion, Eucharist, the Mass.
Every member of the Church has a part in each service they attend. The service is not something that is 'performed' by robed professionals in front of an audience. We each bring to the service the experiences, concerns and hopes that are uniquely our own. We pray for God's strength and guidance, and in the Communion receive the assurance of God's love.
