Thoughts on Communion
by Aiden Wilson Tozer
What a sweet comfort to us that our Lord Jesus Christ was once known in the breaking of the bread. In earlier Christian times, believers called the Communion "the medicine of immortality," and God gave them the desire to pray: Be known to us in breaking bread, But do not then depart; Savior, abide with us and spread Thy table in our heart. Some churches have a teaching that you will find God only at their table-and that you leave God there when you leave. I am so glad that God has given us light. We may take the Presence of the table with us. We may take the Bread of life with us as we go. Then sup with us in love divine, Thy body and Thy blood; That living bread and heavenly wine Be our immortal food! In approaching the table of our Lord, we dare not forget the cost to our elder Brother, the Man who was from heaven. He is our Savior; He is our Passover!
Why were early Christians accused of cannibalism? Why were some willing to die rather than surrender the Eucharist? Scripture and the writings of the earliest Christians reveal something remarkable about what the first believers understood when they gathered to break the bread. During Lent, the Church invites us to rediscover that same mystery.

It’s true — variety is the spice of of life and I am thankful to live here where the spices create a fragrant aroma of wonderful…

The Truth about Communion – Four keys to making the most of communion.
The Gentle Hand of a Deacon I grew up in a church that took communion every Sunday. It was a quiet moment where I would busy myself with colouring in as a small child or later on sitting eyes closed waiting for the gentle hand of a deacon on my shoulder to notify me that the plate had come around to my row.
Was this what Jesus intended when he said, ‘do this’ at the last supper?
