A couple of weeks ago, we had a clergy group here that was discussing congregational transformation.
In the beginning fellowship time, George Norton, the moderator of this group, a pastor at the First Baptist Church in Montour Falls, and our area minister in our Baptist association, was sharing some thought he had while sharing communion with some of his family in New England.
He reflected on how, as we share communion, we are also uniting ourselves with others all over the world who are also taking communion at the same time. As we partake of the bread and cup, we are united with believers everywhere who also partake of the bread and the cup.
I’ve been reflecting on that idea. Sunday is World Communion Sunday, and it strikes me as a wonderful illustration of the unity of the church. We are all God’s people, and we share in this bread and this cup together with millions we have never met before, and may never meet this side of heaven.
Something to reflect on…
