Invitation to Communion January 10, 2016

 I invite you to join us in Communion
Or as I knew it a a child, the Lord's Supper.

We will take the bread and wine
(it's grape juice really),

And remember the man
Who first broke the bread and drank the wine.

The same man whose baptism is observed today:

Jesus the Christ.

I was lucky enough to have
A Presbyterian/Christian Scientist grandmother

and a Southern Baptist mother.

One saw to it that I was sprinkled as a baby

and the other that I was dunked at age ten.

So as far as baptism is concerned,
Been there, done that.

Communion is different.  

Only as an adult
Did I understand
The significance of the bread and wine.

Now, I treasure each time
I take the Lord's Supper.

As I hope you will.
