Worship outline
The Lord’s Supper is usually celebrated in the context of the church’s worship service. In my
home church, the Lord’s Supper takes place right after the sermon and as part of the conclusion.
It represents the focus of that service in particular. This service would be a very important one in
which there are special participations, for example of the choir. It takes several minutes but I do
not think that is a problem at all. I do not see why the church would want to spend less time
celebrating Christ’s life rather than more. Here a brief outline of one of these services.
