In the night, with loaves and wine, we become the little one

Advent Day #8 - 12/6/2015 - And today's Living Advent Theme, once again, crosses Blog Themes with my Yearly Connections Theme!  The quote today was:

In the night, with loaves and wine, we become the little one;
blood brothers and water sisters,
bits and pieces of the kingdom
– Dennis Kennedy

And Pastor Michael, once again, made a nice connection for us.  Asking us, "as you come forward for the Table, see if you can feel some sense of unity and connection with everyone else present."  And I did.  It is amazing to watch the circle of Friends that take Communion on a Sunday.  Because I was the Liturgist today, I was in the front row, so, I got up and took Communion as one of the first two, and then I sat in the back, in one of the rockers, and watched the Procession and basked in the connectivity!  Our Church Community is so very important to us, and the act of sharing the elements, all together in Church, is a profound one!

And it fit, of course, quite nicely with the Psalm provided for today's "extra credit"  (Psalm 133)
"How very good and pleasant it is
   when kindred live together in unity!"

AMEN!
