Protestant Church

There is a wide variety of type of service in the Protestant Churches.

In some Anglican Churches, the structure is similar to the Catholic Mass.

Sometimes the Communion part of the service is added on to the normal Sunday service.

In many Protestant Churches, Communion takes place just once or twice a month.

Most Protestants believe that the bread and wine symbolise the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross and is a way of remembering Jesus.

The service might start with some hymns and prayers.

After this there will be Bible readings and the sermon.

The people might confess their sins and say sorry to God.

There will be a reading of the Last Supper story and then the minister will explain the meaning of the passage.

People will then receive the bread and the wine.

The Service is often known as the ‘Lord’s Supper’ or the ‘Breaking of Bread’.
