Thinking about Communion

This morning I came across an essay reflecting on celebrating Communion on World Communion Sunday. It is written by a United Methodist minister, who obviously celebrates the Lord's Supper once a month. It is interesting, I think, for us to see how others view communion -- especially the logistics of communion -- when they do not gather at the Lord's Table every week.

Perhaps this is one of the blessings of our faith tradition. By celebrating Communion every worship, and by involving the deacons and elders so fully, we have made the sacrament a central part of our faith practice. In some ways, we have incarnated Communion, making it a part of who we are. I imagine we don't think about it as messy or neat, well-ordered or not -- it's simply who we are and what we do.
