The Lord's Supper is a sign and seal of our oneness with the crucified and risen Christ, as well as a unique encounter with the redeeming grace of God and the unceasing nurture provided by the Savior's Spirit.  Those who come to the Lord's Table are blessed by Communion with Christ and with all those faithful (past, present, and future) who belong to Christ.

Presbyterians celebrate what is called open Communion.  The whole believing community (regardless of denominational or congregational affiliation) is welcome at the Lord's Table.  It is a time to celebrate the joyful feast of the people of God, to renew one's Baptismal vows, to affirm the Church's unity, and to recommit ourselves to following the way and truth of Jesus as God's servants for the entire world.  Like Baptism, the Lord's Supper is about community and, thus, is always celebrated in the setting of corporate worship.

Depending on the particular liturgical occasion, this Sacrament may be referred to by several different names:  in addition to the Lord's Supper, it as also known as the Last Supper, Holy Communion, or the Eucharist.  During 2006, the Lord's Supper will be frequently celebrated in worship:
