Communion

We enter into communion service with one another, or partake of the Lord’s supper and washing of the saints feet a few times each year. This service usually takes place 3rd Sunday in April and during our Union Meeting in October. Communion is the second ordinance Christ established for the New Testament Church. In order to commune with the Church and Christ, you must have submitted to the first ordinance of the Church – that of baptism. The baptism must be carried out by a Primitive Baptist minister of the same faith and order. This ensures that our congregation is of one mind and one accord and that we are not mixing our church with other religious orders. (2 Cor 6:17) However, we welcome anyone to come and witness.

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. – John 13:4-5, 13-15
