This is the most detailed teaching we get in the Bible about communion. It's a bit challenging, but a great read.

1 Corinthians 11:23-34
23For I received from the Lord what I also handed
on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of
bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This
is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In the
same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new
covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim
the Lord’s death until he comes.
27Whoever, therefore, eats the
bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable
for the body and blood of the Lord. 28Examine yourselves, and only
then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For all who eat and
drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves. 30For
this reason many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 31But
if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged. 32But when we are
judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along
with the world. 33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come
together to eat, wait for one another. 34If you are hungry, eat at
home, so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation.
About the other things I will give instructions when I come.
