"COMMUNION"
Hello all...
THis past week, we met at the Gambills for "second breakfast" and the day was tremendous. About 30 of us enjoyed our family sunday over the holiday weekend. We began the morning with a few worship songs and then Adam spoke for a few minutes on "the love feast" that the early church would celebrate before communion.
In 1Corinthians 11, we find that the church in Corinth was not practicing hospitality and were unaware of the disunity they were causing. Several of their members were gorging themselves on the meal and not saving the food for others. They in turn were disgracing the actual communion feast because of it.
In Acts 2, we see that the church shared their meals with great joy and generosity. This was the ideal way to celebrate the feast and the communion ceremony.
After Adam's talk, we took the bread and juice to remember Jesus. Finally, we ate together, laughed, talked, the kids played and the adults discussed the future of the Orchard in the next month or so. We posted more pics on the kidzone blog.
