The Communion Season is a deeply spiritual practice started by the Covenanters in Scotland during the seventeenth century, centered around the careful administration of the Lord’s Supper. Communion Season takes place from Thursday to the following Monday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, preparatory services are held, with preaching on themes of repentance, self-examination, and spiritual renewal, leading up to the administration of the Lord’s Supper on the Lord’s Day morning. Please come with us to hear Rev. William Macleod as he introduces this tradition and delivers seven sermons like those typically preached during a traditional Scottish Communion Season.
Thursday was the first day of Communion Season, calling for humiliation and prayer. This sermon is typical of those which would have been preached to the congregation on Thursday to help them in this spiritual work of seeking repentance, confessing their sins to God, and seeking forgiveness.
