When does Grace have communion?
Jesus never said when or how often believers should observe The Lord’s Supper. He instituted it on a Thursday night. In the Bible, Christians observed the communion in small groups in homes.
At Grace, we observe the Lord's Supper four to six times a year during our Sunday services. In addition, we allow small groups to conduct the Lord's Supper under pastoral supervision.
