Ministry Leaders
Our Theme “Handing On…” is based on the following scripture...
I 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.
