The Breaking of Bread is a time when we collectively remember the Lord Jesus Christ in His death. On the eve of His crucifixion He said to His disciples:
"This (the bread) is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." Likewise, ... "this cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:19, 20)
The early disciples met every week for the communion service. They called it the "breaking of bread" (Acts 20:7). They met very simply. We try to follow their example.
The Bible gives some specific instructions about taking part in the communion service. "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup" (1 Cor 11:28). We interpret this as meaning that the Lord requires us to be sure of two things:
Those who are unsure of their relationship to the Lord Jesus should attend the service as an observer, and pass the bread and the cup along without partaking of them. Those who have examined their heart in these two ways are welcome to share in the bread and cup.
The service is a time of worship as well as remembrance. During the service, various men will announce hymns for the congregation to sing, read Scriptures, share thoughts that are centered on the Lord Jesus, or voice prayers of thanksgiving. There is no previously designed order for the service as we trust the Holy Spirit will move hearts of the men to share in a manner that honors God. The women do not share audibly beyond singing with the congregation and adding their "Amen"s to the prayers. This is in keeping with 1 Cor 14:34 — "Let your women keep silent in the churches". Most of the women also wear a headscarf or some other form of head covering as instructed in 1 Cor 11:10. It is a symbol of their willingness to submit to the male authority God has established in the church, and a reminder that the men are also under the authority and headship of Christ.
We trust that the time of worship and remembrance will always exalt our great God and savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
