Communion Prayer
Printer-Friendly Version (Sermon)
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.” This is the opening sentence of our reading from the book of Acts, and I have to confess, it makes me sad. In a literal sense, many of us can’t relate to what the sentence describes. Because of COVID-19, it is not prudent for us to be “together in one place.” We’re confined to our homes, we can’t gather for worship, ministry, prayer and fellowship, and we don’t know when we’ll share bread and wine again around a common table. It feels difficult to consider togetherness … much less celebrate a great feast day like Pentecost … in this context.
