It's not necessary to have an ordained minister do it. We're able to have communion together over a meal. Lucy Jamie you can offer each other communion in your homes.

Everything's authentic, but maybe I am missing. we have a small community in our house and yet we still visit churches, trying to find a home “church”…I think we try each week because we are looking for communion, musical worship, and something magical.

Yes indeed. I dont attend meetings because I've already found community, (I live in one)why would I want to go along to a service once a week where community doesnt exist. I'm afraid churches dont generally know what it's like to be community even though they call themselves community, daily sharing of lives, interactions, intimacy. When I was in a 'church' and I didnt go for a few months, I never even received a call to see how i was. lol if im not around here for a few hours then someone comes to find out why:) Lucy ‘They know those services can’t better bring something to them that they have already found.’

I guess the ideal would be to have both, although that's hard to achieve. Good thoughts. I guess the ideal would be to have both, although that’s hard to achieve.

You reminded me about the type of community that Church of the Savior encouraged. Granted, my thoughts probably veered off of the direction you're going with this, but it did get me thinking. I posted more about it on my blog. BTW... when writing a comment on our blog, I noticed that the text goes off the page where I can't see it anymore. It's not wrapping the text at quite the right place. You might try a test post or two to see what I'm talking about. Good thoughts about community.
