Another House Church

For those who have been following along, I’ve had another experience of a sort of “house church”… our priest, in his utter wisdom, has started an Easter thing whereby we gather together, have a shared meal, sing a few songs, and then celebrate a simplified Eucharist together. For some reason the simplicity of this whole thing just makes it one whole lot of fun. We end up by giving each other the bread and cup, and the smiles when it is over seem to indicate that everyone is really into the small, intimate nature of the gathering. There’s a whole lot of laughter during the evening, and we all head off feeling slightly better than when we came. Nobody’s shouting, prophecying or endlessly drumming. A giant wag of the tail out to our priest, possibly the best in our dioese, including what’s his name with the big stick… keeping it simple, meaningful, and true to Christ.
