“In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me’” (1 Corinthians 11:25, NRSVue).

Many congregations across the Church of the Brethren are celebrating love feast this evening. This three-fold worship service includes feetwashing, communion, and a simple meal, eaten together in commemoration of the last supper Jesus ate with his disciples.

This Brethren Press bulletin cover for love feast features an image of the cup, from Bethany Seminary, and a reflection on the cup by Tony Asta (available to congregations that purchase bulletins from Brethren Press).
