Opus 2026-184: A Living Definition

On Palm Sunday we joined in the celebration of communion at our church.  It was the culmination of a great time of worship and, in keeping with its title, was a time of great community.  I had several pictures that stood out.

At our church we go forward and kneel at the altar railing.  It takes three or four repetitions of the ritual to serve everyone.  In one group a man and his wife went forward and knelt together but their children did not want to be left out.  The kids came up and squeezed between them and instead of sending the kids back to their seats, they embraced them.  They were not old enough to partake but were old enough to be part of bonding.  I loved the picture.

Another good sign was the many who joined in union that I did not know.  There were a number who looked familiar but I didn’t have their names down yet.  When you always sit in the same part of the sanctuary you miss a lot of names.  In addition there were a good number that I don’t even remembering having seen before.

I hope that everyone sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit as I did and that the spirit of unity will continue to bring us together.

That is why we call it communion
