This Table invites us to reflect on our privileged position as God's people and to know the truth of the indicative spoken over God's people in Malachi 1:2, "I have loved you."

Communion
Dear Family at Christ Community,
This Sunday our worship will focus on the first imperative challenge in Malachi 1:6-14. Malachi challenged Israel (and the Holy Spirit challenges us) to examine the attitude and heart behind their worship.
