💁🏻 Concept: Transubstantiation
Some denominations teach that in the Lord’s Supper (the Eucharist), the bread and wine become Christ’s body and blood, though they still look like bread and wine. This view, called transubstantiation, claims the elements change in substance by God’s power. A more biblical view is that Christ is truly present, not physically in the elements, but spiritually—by the Spirit and through faith. The bread and wine remain bread and wine, serving as signs and seals of God’s covenant promises.
Suggested Flow:
1. Prepare the bread and wine.
2. Personal prayer: Confession of sins and remembering the cross of Christ.
3. Bread symbolizing the body of Christ. 
 -Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-24
  -Pray thanking Jesus for sacrificing His body on the cross.
 -Eat the bread together 
4. Wine symbolizing the blood of Christ.
 -Read 1 Corinthians 11:25-26
 -Pray thanking Jesus for shedding His blood for our sins.
 -Drink the wine/juice together
5. Sing together: Ang Tanging Alay Ko

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Lord God, thank You for sending Jesus—our Lord and Savior. Since Jesus commanded us to practice the Lord’s Supper, please help us to understand its importance and how it nourishes our relationship with You and with our fellow believers. Help us to see the deeper spiritual reality of Your presence. As we take the bread and cup, may we be nourished by Your grace, refreshed by Your Spirit, and assured of Your covenant promises. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who gave His body and shed His blood for our salvation. In Christ’s holy name I pray, amen.
