communion

Tonight was a night of communion.

Earlier tonight, Deering Dyer lead us in a great First Wednesday service at Crossroads ending with communion and the congregation coming forward for prayer with our Elders and Staff.

Next we came home to a dark house - living room lined with candles and nearly 20 college students worshiping and sharing communion. I cannot think of anything I would rather have our home used for. This picture shows how the college students used a cutting board and pan to serve the communion cups. The bread was served in another tray.


Communion is such a meaningful - connecting experience. Jesus served communion to those He considered his best friends, his followers, his beloved.

We did this tonight in remembrance of Him because we are His beloved...so amazing!

my day off

I began my day off appropriately studying the new book that the Magnification team at Crossroads is studying together, Sabbath Keeping. Many things jumped out at me as I began.

One of the most amazing sentences I read was the following...
"On that day I am a disciple, not a leader. On that day I am beloved, simply beloved."

My guess is that the spirit of those who lead will respond to this statement intensely.

This is what I miss so much as a leader...just being a disciple...just being able to worship not lead. I AM His beloved - I need to live as if I believe this everyday. The book says that continuous working can make us think God's love is connected to 'what I do'.

I was created with the need to organize my week so there is time to just 'be' in Him...I am so excited to study more!
