Just a quick one today,
This morning I got to lead our Wednesday morning Eucharist service as the boss was ill. This is a rare opportunity to lead the group (normally 12-14 people, average age 75+) with prayers and psalms, reflecting on the lectionary readings.
Our tradition dictates that I’m not allowed to serve the Eucharist meal as I’m not ordained (a discussion for another time) so this morning we prepared ‘take-away communion’ – a Apple & Blackcurrant juice popper with a bread roll in a paper bag. We pondered whether Jesus actually intended for the meal to form part of a worship service, or simply that we should remember with thanks whenever we ate together.
One lady suggested she would go home and have ‘lunch with the Lord’ (and was quite impressed with her own alliteration).
