Axx is hosting a series of Communion messages recorded by pastors and ministers from around Australia.
These Communion messages are for those who want to come together in communion with their family at home when they cannot attend a Church service in person.
Join together with us and celebrate communion together with family, friends or even in a quiet moment of personal reflection.
In Communion Together we read the Word, reflect on Jesus and His sacrifice, prayer together for our needs and the needs of others. Join us, in Communion Together.
This is a free service offered by the ministry of Axx
