It doesn't have to be one that you have experienced, but rather just one that stands out to you. Besides Holy Communion, Holy Ordination or Orders is my favorite. The ordination of one to the clergy is an amazing service and seeing the new deacon or priest being vested in their vestments for the first time is a beautiful thing.

Unction. A healing service set aside for those needing a touch from the Lord.

The holy Eucharist and anointing of the sick.

Both Baptism and Communion are treasured, but perhaps I treasure Baptism most.

For me, the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is the climax and pinnacle of the Christian experience, while the Sacrament of Confession and Absolution is my second favorite. The most important Sacrament is, of course, Holy Baptism, but that is only done once and is unrepeatable.

Interesting thoughts, guys. I think that my answer has to be Baptism because, although the other sacrament (Lord's Supper) is more mysterious and more often observed, it's Baptism that makes a person a member of Christ's Church and an heir of heaven. I guess the answer could go either way, but witnessing the great and indelible change that's effected by Baptism makes an impact upon me.
