Communion

It was my turn to share the Communion thought yesterday at church. I did something a little bit different. Usually, the person who leads communion shares a thought, prays over the bread, and then we sing while the plate is being passed around. He will then either continue his thought and pray over the juice, or just pray, and we will sing while they pass that around.

Yesterday, I said a few words and prayed over the bread. Then instead of singing, I showed a PowerPoint and read scriptures outloud. The PowerPoint was timed to my speed of reading and the ending was very powerful as I was dramtically emphasizing the scriptures. Then, I prayed a very short prayer and we sang a song that is new to us, "All Praises Be." It was really good. Anyway, here are my thoughts and the PowerPoint.
