10 Creative Ways to Celebrate the Lord’s Supper
By Paul | September 20, 2007
10 Creative Suggestions by the Let’s Worship Magazine staff
1. Utilize all five senses
- Smell (incense)
- Sight (banner)
- Hearing (anvil)
- Touch (bread)
- Taste (cup)
2. Serve the Lord’s Supper in family groups.
3. Emphasize Old Testament symbolism.
- Passover symbolism (The bread was striped and pierced, blood of the lamb on the doorposts, and the bitter herbs symbolic of bondage).
- Place the colors of a Jewish tabernacle on the pulpit and explain their significance.
4. Project images or videos while passing the elements.
5. Use pageant sets and drama to portray the event visually.
Have servers dress up as disciples, then allow people in modern clothes to take the place of the servers at the table with the actor playing the part of Jesus.
6. Emphasize “clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 51).
Wash hands before serving and before partaking.
7. Select others to distribute the elements.

8. Use pita bread (Let each person tear or break off his or her portion).
9. Show video clips of Christ’s suffering and death while serving.
10. Use banners as the center of the Lord’s Supper.
Ask members to take the Lord’s Supper at the banner that has the most meaning for them, because of what they have experienced during the year.
