Dear readers, did you know that in the early days of Christianity, it was customary for the followers of Jesus to hold a love feast connected to the Lord's Supper.

The love feast was a gathering of the Christian community, where they shared a communal meal in remembrance of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for His Church. The feast was held in conjunction with celebrating the broken bread, which symbolizes the broken body of our Lord.

This practice has its roots in the early Christian Church, where it was a way for the members to come together and show their love and unity. This sacred service continues to this day in many Christian denominations, where the love feast is still held as a symbol of the love and sacrifice of Jesus for His Church.

During this feast, the early Christians would gather to share food and fellowship and remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. One of the unique aspects of the love feast was that it included people from all walks of life, including those from low-income backgrounds.

The purpose of this inclusivity was to promote a sense of community and to show that everyone was equal in the eyes of God. In this timely message, we will explore the importance of communion and the consequences of abusing this holy sacrament service.
