Urbana Archives New Year's Eve
Communion Service

Urbana worshippers ushered in 2001 with a communion celebration that simply rocked the Assemby Hall - there is no better way to put it. The service began with Marta Bennett, a missionary professor in Nairobi, Kenya, who reminded us that communion celebrates the "ultimate eminence of God's love for us." She welcomed us to a feast "hosted by God." The entire assembly then partook of the communion elements, while quietly singing songs of praise to God. Thereafter, we entered into a joyous time of worship that gave us a peek at heavenly worship. As the minutes counted down to the New Year, believers praised God with rising volume and intensity. The experience was truly extraordinary. No descriptions can do justice to the awesomeness of lifting up the name of Jesus with 20,000 other extremely energized believers.
