Ideas for Communion
Owing to changes, it is a long time since we shard Communion. We felt comfortable in not setting a scene of quiet reverence. Mainly because we would not succeed, so we do not put ourselves or others under that pressure!
We used gluten free bread, and Ribena.
Be aware of people who cannot eat and or swallow.
The format we have settled with is:
We project a slide of a communion cup and bread,to act as a key or pointer. This is not essential! Picture is here or click on this thumbnail for larger picture.
We give a very brief explanation of what we are doing. Currently we focus more on remembering Jesus and what His love for us.
At the start we use this prayer:
Here is a bread roll.
All: We will think about Jesus.
Here is some Ribena.
All: We will think about Jesus.
Watch as the roll is broken and we drink the Ribena.
All: We will think about Jesus.
After everyone has had bread and Ribena, we say:
Now we have eaten the bread and drunk the Ribena.
All: We thought about Jesus.
We did all this to think about Jesus, and God’s great love for us! Amen
