Here's the original thread:

And the post I'm referring to:

And the "Thank you":


In the spirit of "Honor where honor is due", I wanted to say a public "Thank You" to Baron for this thread and specifically, for this post.

As a result of this thread, this post, and emails that we exchanged afterwards, our church did Communion recently in a way we never have before. We asked for group leaders and then for people to join each group.

During "Communion Week" numerous homes were filled throughout the week with 15-20 people or so for dinner. At the conclusion of dinner, the assigned leader, passed out pieces of bread torn off from a loaf, and filled each glass with the "Fruit of the Vine".

Scriptures were read, prayers were prayed and Communion was celebrated.

I received more email response to this than anything we've ever done. Several dozen people said it felt like the first time they'd ever taken communion.

I was clearly one of the best things we've ever done as a church and I wanted to publicly thank "Baron" for his inspiration.
