At Wilmot United Church we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month, as well as on additional special occasions.

In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, bread and wine are given and received in grateful remembrance of Jesus' death on the cross. It is a means of spiritual nourishment and comfort and growth in grace.

This Sacrament of the universal church has been called by many names, each of which illustrates truth about the Sacrament.

Increasingly in the Anglican Church this Sacrament is known as the Eucharist.
The term commonly used in the Roman Catholic Church is the Mass, reflecting the dismissal of the congregation at the end of worship and the "sending out" of worshippers to their daily life.

Commonly called the Sacrament of Holy Communion in The United Church of Canada these days, this sacrament was at one time more commonly known as the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, recalling the fellowship Jesus shared with his disciples at the Last Supper.

Following the normal practise of the United Church, all who have made a credible profession of their faith in Jesus Christ and approach the Lord's Table for the sacrament are welcome to receive this blessing.
