... in Memory of Christ

Is the name given to the simple ritual feast instituted by Christ at the Last Supper, and which is now the central feature of Christian worship. It consists of those present sharing bread and wine, which represent the body and blood of Christ. It is a continual reminder and renewal of our declared faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, and our belief in salvation in him alone-the salvation which we look for at his return to establish God's kingdom on earth (see Matthew 26:26; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-20).

The apostle Paul records:
"The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.' 'For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.'" (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
