Do this in remembrance of Me."(Luke 22:19) "This cup is the new covenant in My blood."(1 Corinthians 11:25) Communion is a time to remember once again the gospel—that Jesus Christ gave His life for us.

"The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace."(Psalm 29:11)"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.

Sunlight passing through the colored glass and filling the sanctuary symbolizes God’s presence in the world. (Light) Hikari Cup
