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.
It’s the morning of the Lord’s Day and the sermon preached is called The Action Sermon because it focuses on the atoning work of Jesus Christ, his sufferings, and great work on the cross of Calvary to redeem us from the curse of the law. Rev. Macleod’s sermon brings us near to the sufferings of the Lord Jesus as he faces the cup of God’s wrath to save sinners. Rev. Macleod takes us through the Fencing of the Table and the Communion Table address, where all aspects of the sacrament are clearly explained, and the communicants are urged to come and partake of the bread and the wine.
