Communion Thank You

[notofworks]

NOTE: I posted this "Thank You" in the original thread but the thread is now buried in one of those places where only a deeply dedicated computer nerd will find it. So I'll just do a thread. This was an amazing event for our church.

Here's the original thread:

And the post I'm referring to:

And the "Thank you":


In the spirit of "Honor where honor is due", I wanted to say a public "Thank You" to Baron for this thread and specifically, for this post.

As a result of this thread, this post, and emails that we exchanged afterwards, our church did Communion recently in a way we never have before. We asked for group leaders and then for people to join each group.

During "Communion Week" numerous homes were filled throughout the week with 15-20 people or so for dinner. At the conclusion of dinner, the assigned leader, passed out pieces of bread torn off from a loaf, and filled each glass with the "Fruit of the Vine".

Scriptures were read, prayers were prayed and Communion was celebrated.

I received more email response to this than anything we've ever done. Several dozen people said it felt like the first time they'd ever taken communion.

It was clearly one of the best things we've ever done as a church and I wanted to publicly thank "Baron" for his inspiration.
