First Communion


This Sunday we had our first communion service. We were so blessed to have someone donate a whole communion set to us a few months ago! It even came with glass cups - which I had never seen before. We used them this time, but I think we will go with the plastic next time....you know, the cleaning of all those little-bitty cups is unreal!

We had a great time in this service. This was the very first communion service in their life for some of our people! It is all about remembering the great sacrifice that our Savior made for us. Tears were abundant and God's presence was so close. We preceeded it with a week of "around-the-clock" prayer and fasting. We had one young man who has never shown a bit of emotion moved to tears.

My message was "Calvary Answers for Me." When "the accuser" comes to make his accusations against me— though I would have to say I am guilty on many counts— Calvary speaks up and says, "FORGIVEN!" "WASHED!" "CLEANSED!" "WHITER THAN SNOW!"
Aren't you glad for the redeeming voice of Calvary?

I love Communion Services. I am always amazed at the price Jesus paid and so very thankful. Remembering Calvary and the Resurrection never gets old to me.
