A call to constant communion
By receiving the Lord’s Supper as often as possible, we can bring healing and grace into a church on the brink of schism.
Theology and Education
Before receiving communion, we are invited to confess and turn from a state of sin as part of the liturgy. It is only through acknowledging our sin that a process of restoration can begin.

Ask The UMC: Why do we confess our SIN, not SINS, in communion?
What is the difference between sin and sins? United Methodists confess both before celebrating Holy Communion.

Online communion should not be here to stay
The church would risk further marginalizing shut-ins and others by denying them a physical experience of the Body of Christ.
