Communion Service

We had a neat, experimental Communion service today at Grace. We only had 1 service [instead of 3] with the whole church family gathered in 1 room, seated around tables. The theme of the service was "3 Tables of the Bible." We celebrated [1] a portion of the Passover meal, [2] the Lord's Supper, and [3] looked forward to the marriage supper of the Bride & Groom.
