Tune: Bullinger
('I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus')
*********
Meeting with you in Communion
Father, Spirit, Son
This Supper you instituted
By it we fed
For here gifts of your bread and wine
It a feast divine
For it be your body and blood
Cleansing flood
Your body broken for me, see
On the cross, the tree
And your blood shed for me, dying
Of you I sing
And from death to resurrection
You the living Son
All who come to you and believe
Life do receive
And there my forgiveness, I kneel
Before you, I will
By your grace now e'er you follow
More of you know
Help us keep in memory plain
'Til we once again
Gather at your table, us feed
Come meet our need

Good write Orchi but as you know my faith in the Christian church has gone so I will not be at that table.
Thanks Gold. It can be for some that they attend the table, and find some spark re-ignited, etc. I hope and pray this may be so for you. It's good where there is Communion every week, or nearly every week. Fortunate to have it often. Some places just tack it on occasionally, as if it's a nuisance, I feel.
I always make a point of remembering the fallen on Remembrance Sunday.. everything else, I regret, I forget..... tis not an age thing....... I respect the message you get across here tho.... Neville
Thanks Neville.
Come on Orchidee, fess-up, what is this you need forgiving for?
My sins! I know no-one is perfect, but me. There - I've just committed a sin if I believed that. I 'fess this to you!
Well writ O
Thanks M. These Berles got some funny first names - Remem Berles. You know him/her?
No don't remember - I do know Forgeta.
Well no seat at the table for me again -
Thanks Suresh. Yes, enough room for everyone somehow, if you will attend - a big table then!
Good Evening ANGELA HERE ! Thanks UNCLE STEVE for sharing another GREAT HYMN ! *I am trusting Thee Lord Jesus* : Morning or Evening (Its 8am Friday here !). Sorry you didnt get more takers for your EUCHARIST ! In the Churches in NZ the Communion Services are the same as in SPAIN - THE UK and everywhere in the World (variations with DENOMINATION) : The Catholic Eucharists are identical in the Tridentine (Latin) Mass and very very similar in all languages. Wherever we are in the WORLD : Brian & I attend COMMUNION (even when we are not familiar with the Vernacular) and we are always made very very welcome ! We consider it is very important to *Celebrate the Lords Supper* at least once per week to keep us NEAR THE CROSS : AMEN. It was instituted in order that : when we do it : We focus on JESUS and his ATONEMENT on the CROSS. Please keep up the GOOD WORK of sharing JESUS on MPS every single DAY : AMEN
In BRIANS CHURCH (Evangelical) they have a Portable Communion Set and the Elders (and Decons) can take it out to *Shut Ins* Brian & I have been involved in this Ministry : It is very very humbling !
Blessing & Joy for YOU & FIDOMO !
Love in the Spirit ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Thanks B&A.
