The name comes from the Greek word eucharistia which means "thanksgiving". This is what we, as His disciples, His Church, His redeemed, are to do on the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, as a weekly celebration of his saving work and Resurrection. The best name for it is the Holy Eucharist.

Our practice at the Church of Our Lord is to pray full Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer every day at 4:30 pm Monday through Friday with the daily Psalm(s) and all three lectionary readings. Evening Prayer gives growing Christians the opportunity to ask questions about the meaning of the readings. It has proven to be a productive opportunity for growth in the written Word of God for all who attend.

Every Christian should be a serious student of the Bible through individual Bible study and group Bible study. If you don't go to a Bible Study, you are missing out "big time". The Liturgy of the Word is not only reading the Old Testament but teaching based on the Word of God.
