A Day to Remember

On Sunday September 11 Stone Soup will gather to take Holy Communion to those who cannot get out to church to receive it. So on a day when we remember the great self giving acts of those responding to the terrorist acts on September 11 15 years ago, we will gather to celebrate Jesus' act of self giving commemorated in the Last Supper. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me."
"And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ,
we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice,
in union with Christ's offering for us,
as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here,
and on these gifts of bread and wine.
Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ,
that we may be for the world the body of Christ,
redeemed by his blood."
(from the United Methodist Hymnal pg 14 The Great Thanksgiving for communion)

We'll meet at 2 p.m. at the Wesley Cottage share communion and then take it out to those who are shut in.  I will bring the elements needed for communion. We plan on being finished by 4.
Peace,
Rob
