I am Elder for the 8:30 Service this month. One of the things that comes with this is Communion preparation for the first Sunday of the month. This Sunday is World Communion Sunday, and that made me think of all of the people around the world we share this sacrament with tommorrow. Normally, when I prepare Communion, I say a little prayer for the elements as I put them in the tray. Usually along the lines of "May this be a blessing to you. " or "May this give your heart peace." But today, I prayed for the pieces that were left in the box and in the jar. I prayed for the people, for any reason, that do not sit at this table with us, or the larger table that we will all share tomorrow. I prayed for my pieces and jars to be empty, and hearts to be full.
Grace and Peace,
Robin
