Lord's Supper

The Lord’s super is an ordinance to be observed in commemorating Jesus death on the Cross for the sins of men. The bread represents Jesus’ body that was voluntarily given and broken for us (I Cor. 11:24), and the cup represented the blood of the new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins (Matt. 26:28). As often as we partake of the Lord’s Supper we are to do it in remembrance of His death and in anticipation of His soon return (I Cor. 11:26). We believe in open communion, which means that you do not have to be a member of the “River of Life Christian Fellowship” to partake, but you must be a Baptized Born Again Believer in right standing with the Lord. This observance is always to be preceded by a solemn self-examination, making sure that our hearts and motives are right (I Cor. 11:27-32).
