At the heart of the Greek word for fellowship (koinonia) is the idea of participation. Koinonia is used to describe both the fellowship and actual participation in the Lord’s Supper.7 No single word in the English language fully captures the meaning of this Greek word. It’s more than just a shared experience and nice conversation with other people. It is, at the deepest level, a spiritual connection in Christ, a supernatural bond provided by God’s grace.
