The Cup of Promise or
Holy Communion
. . .The Eucharist
We are the Body of Christ that is broken for one another. We do this in remembrance of his love and to become united in God's name.

Bread and Wine are the outward sign of the Sacrament of Holy Communion (The Eucharist). The inward sign is representative of the Receiving of the Body and Blood of Christ for the benefit of our union with Christ and his Church, the forgiveness of sins, and the nourishing of our whole being for eternal life. Communion is part of the worldwide fellowship of churches. And as the Body of Christ - we are the Church. Therefore, this is a fellowship of Unity to all who partake and to do it in remembrance of the One who instituted it - our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.
The CHURCH is not brick and mortar but the members - people - human beings of this professed faith who through this precious mystery are unified to Oneness spiritually - for the soul, physically to action and emotionally for our individual and collective peace.
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as "containing all things necessary to salvation," and as being the ruler and guide and ultimate standard of faith.
- The Apostles' Creed as the Baptismal Symbol, and the Nicene Creed as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith.
- The two sacraments ordained by Christ himself - Baptism and Holy Communion - ministered with unfailing use of Christ's words of institution and of the elements ordained by Him.
- Jesus calls us into the Unity of His Church through the Eucharist.
