Not because of this list (though it is lovely) but because you are both incredible people and we'd love to have you. And because maybe you could help me get through an every-week-communion conversation. :-)<br /><br />(in my last church--I am not joking--people said we couldn't have communion more than once a month because we hadn't budgeted to buy that much bread and wine. seriously.)Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-88506649188760681532013-07-08T18:15:06.237-07:002013-07-08T18:15:06.237-07:00Regarding the communion every Sunday: Our church ...Regarding the communion every Sunday: Our church changed to that after my kids were home for Christmas and went to the "family friendly" 5pm Christmas eve service (we went later, because we are in the choir) and they didn't receive communion and they complained to me about this, so I told the pastor. I guess that was all it took for the Worship Committee to go to every Sunday Communion. Besides, if a person works on a schedule and misses on a regular basis, you might never hit a communion Sunday. Interesting traits that FT has. Hmmm. We hosted a woman and her husband this past weekend who was ordained last weekend in CA. She will be serving a church that is about 1/3 LGBT. She didn't grow up Lutheran. She didn't even grow up Christian. She didn't even grow up in a northern European American type household. She has been a Christian about 6 or so years, but soaked it in like a sponge. And she is deeply spiritual and will certainly find challenges and respect as well.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
