1 Corinthians 11: 23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes again.

Why Confess?
Everyone makes mistakes. “Sometimes we don’t choose the best thing to do, and that happens to everyone.”
Confession is not about being in trouble. “It’s about telling God we’re sorry and letting Him forgive us, because He loves us.”
It helps us feel peaceful and happy inside. “After Confession, our hearts feel lighter and ready to receive Jesus in Communion.
Why receive
Communion?
When we receive Communion, we are receiving Jesus in a very special way. He comes to our hearts to be close to us, to love us, and to help us grow.
