Hi,
I was just talking with Rich tonight and he was sharing with how they'd communion with the kids this week. This is something that I've read a lot about and thought a lot about and I believe in the value of wresting back communion from sacred ritualism and restoring it to a meal and hospitality, friendship and love. There have been times when I've been with friends and I've just wanted to share in communion with them but I've always pulled back. There is something deeply ingrained in me that feels uneasy, awkward about saying the words and telling the story that for centuries only Ministers have told. I know I need to plunge in and just do it but I haven't managed it yet.
Cheers
Nigel

Hi Nige!
I know I've emailed you a response but - YES I AGREE! Lets do it!
Thinking about how that night must of been for the disciples and Jesus (the last supper), it must have been - like you said - a time of friendship and love. A very intimate time, a time charged with emotions and tears as what lay awaiting for Jesus played on everyone's minds - including Jesus'. Communion began in the home, it can remain in the home.
