About this Item

Paperback. The church's ministry of the Lord's Supper is vital, but students and pastors often think of this sacrament almost completely in terms of theological differences.

In the final part, twenty-eight pastoral meditations span the Old and New Testaments, showing the rich benefits of our union with Christ. Spreading the Feast will help students and pastors form their own words of explanation and exhortation as they minister at the Table, proving especially helpful to those who celebrate weekly communion. A helpful resource for those who administer communion, especially those who celebrate weekly. Howard Griffith provides a brief theology of communion, sample invitations, and twenty-eight pastoral meditations.

In the final part, twenty-eight pastoral meditations span the Old and New Testaments, showing the rich benefits of our union with Christ.
