Communion Service Tonight 4/1/2026

BUPC: Tonight is communion service, and thankfully, it is also Passover. When Jesus celebrated Passover the final time with His disciples (we call it the Last Supper), the night went in a different direction than what His disciples were expecting. Passover was about their deliverance from slavery in Egypt, but Jesus took it into a different direction. He said it was about His death for remission of sins. And during the meal He told the disciples, “this do in remembrance of me.” Meaning it was to be repeated. Paul put it like this: so this to “shew the Lord‘s death til He come.” Since the Lord has not come yet, we are still doing this to honor and commemorate the death of Jesus.

So tonight, at 7pm, the children, youth, and adults will be together to take part of this special event, and children to adults who have been baptized in Jesus’ name are able to participate in communion if they wish. It will be a learning experience that connects communion to baptism. We’ve been fasting and praying this week for miracles this weekend, but let’s expect them even tonight.

Prayer meeting 1/28/2028

 “Build an altar” is the theme for tonight’s prayer meeting. Let’s build an altar for this prayer time. The first mention of the word “altar” was when Noah built an altar to the LORD (Gen 8:20), and it pleased God with the many offerings Noah gave there. Verse 21 says the LORD “smelled a sweet savour,” meaning it rose to God as a soothing aroma. As a result, God gave Noah some important promises at that altar. When you get down to pray this evening, build an altar there. You don’t need a pile of rocks for this altar but be intentional in piling up a layer of praise along with your layer of petitions. That will make your words ascend as a pleasant fragrance to God. When you build that kind of altar, you will have a direct communication link between you and God and will walk away with some significant promises in hand. Let’s build an altar.
