World Communion Sunday Part 2

World Communion Sunday has come and gone for this year. I do believe after a meeting of the ideas of Anna and myself that we came to a wonderful moment in liturgy. It has become our practice to recite the Apostle's Creed as a response to the sermon. This week we concluded a sermon series on the Apostle's Creed. As an alteration to my idea in the earlier post, here is what we did. One of our worship leaders very gracefully instructed the congregation that at the end of each section (Father, Son, Holy Spirit; a division every one was familiar with due to the series) an element of Communion would be brought forth and thus we'd pause. It went off beautifully. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. [A father and daughter from one side of the congregation and a youth from another brought baskets of bread to the Communion Table] I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. [Two folks from either side each brought a cup to the Communion Table] I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. [(At the instruction of Anna to do my liturgical thing, not dance, but gracefully walk) I took a pitcher of juice with a stole draped around the handle down the center aisle, raising and lowering the pitcher as I moved and doing one turn when I reached the front of our horse shoe]
