Question:Every Lent, I lead a small study/communion service with my congregation. We meet in a small group, celebrate communion with a short study-service lesson, and then enjoy a meal of soup and bread together. This will be my first round teaching this style of study/service in my new appointment. In the past, I've focused on communion, prayer, etc., and this year again the focus will be communion. Usually, I spend one week talking about the parts of the communion liturgy, one week focusing on scripture texts related to our practice of communion, another celebrating a Wesleyan Love Feast.
If you were teaching about communion in a small group worship setting, what topics might you cover?

The GBOD study guide for Communion is a great help. I used it last year in my UMC congregation. There's also a baptism one.
I would cover the open table and Communion as a "means of grace".
I was going to say the same as above. I think sharing why we have open communion is important.
All of these answers are wonderful, I might add a history or description of how we got to where we are in the practice of communion.
How did we go from the 1st Corinthians description to where we are today?
