COMMUNIION SUBSTITUTES IN OTHER MINISTRIES?? THERE IS AN ODD AND GROWING TREND IN HIPSTER, COOL CHURCHES TO USE NON-TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS AS PART OF COMMUNION?
I HAVE SOME SERIOUS THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS TREND BUT FOR NOW… HERE IS A HELPFUL RAN-DUMB GUIDE FOR “THOSE” CHURCHES FOR MINISTRIES AROUND THEIR CHURCH AND THEIR COMMUNION SUBSTITUTES??

8. Men’s Ministry… Black Coffee & Bacon?
7. Mother of Pre-schoolers… Half of a lukewarm juice box & a handful of crushed animal crackers?
