FROM the PASTOR’S DESK
When I am teaching elder training one of the things I tell
them is that serving Holy Communion is perhaps the most
significant liturgical moment of their tenure as an active
elder. I know it is true for me. I find that at the Lord’s Table I
cannot stay angry with anyone, and it is the highest privilege
to serve as a facilitator of God’s means of Grace in this Holy
Sacrament.
Here at CHPC we know full well that “once an elder – always
an elder”, and elders not on active service may also serve
communion, but frequently it is only the active elders who
are signed up for this privileged responsibility, especially for
second service. The worship committee and Pastors would
like to change that.
Beginning this Sunday, and continuing for the next two
weeks, elders not on active duty may also sign up to serve
communion! If you find this as meaningful as I have over the
years, I suspect many will want to do this.
How do you sign up? Contact Terry Booth
([email protected]) or on her cell at 423-341-7218. Or
you may contact the church office or me directly. Please do
not depend upon my aging and faulty memory for this
signup, but make sure to WRITE IT DOWN if you tell me on a
Sunday morning.
I look forward to working with each of you as you once again
take up this important task in the life of the church.
