Invited to the Lord’s table

In the moments of celebrating Holy Communion, the minister makes two declarations: “The Lord’s table is now prepared” - This means that the altar is now the table at which Jesus celebrates communion with His congregation.

“The Lord now invites you to Holy Communion” - Jesus is calling His own to join Him for table fellowship. Just as Lazarus was sitting and eating with the Lord after being brought back to life, Christ invites us to His table. At this table, we experience His love, warmth, peace, and fellowship.
