I know that there are may who will argue that worship (gathering) is not the place for it.<BR/><BR/>mrpages:<BR/><BR/>You are welcome. Hoefully some of the ideas can be passed on. I would love to see the work in progress with you your meetings.Thoughts From Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658741692973255432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563577408977959863.post-80990331868723585372007-11-08T15:30:00.000-05:002007-11-08T15:30:00.000-05:00Thanks for this.

You have some great thoughts, and you cover some ideas that we hadn't considered. <BR/><BR/>Much appreciated.qaswedfrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524765417361902191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563577408977959863.post-69824708442740949132007-11-08T12:58:00.000-05:002007-11-08T12:58:00.000-05:00I really like the way you're thinking about this, ...I really like the way you're thinking about this, and the elements you propose seem to me a great way to accomplish the edifying of the Body.Drew Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112208107972585200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563577408977959863.post-18195824569862773972007-11-08T10:49:00.000-05:002007-11-08T10:49:00.000-05:00Alan:Thanks for the chalenge and the words, I appr...Alan:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the chalenge and the words, I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Lew:<BR/><BR/>In my current context and tradition, I would seperate them. I think that it may be more biblical to include it at the same time though (if that makes sense).<BR/><BR/>My reason would be to make sure that communion (connection to God) was not lost. I also want to make the meal/fellowship more geared on the relaxed atmosphere and the edification/encouragement.<BR/><BR/>I could be swayed though but presently; that is my thought.<BR/><BR/>Grace:<BR/><BR/>Thanks. The words are greatly appreciative. I also like hearing what others would love to see/have in their gathering.Thoughts From Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658741692973255432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563577408977959863.post-72332845709566793812007-11-08T10:44:00.000-05:002007-11-08T10:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing this Jeff.

Quick question, in this description, would you have the communion separate from the meal? Why or why not?<BR/><BR/>God's Glory,<BR/>Lew<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.cafepress.com/the_pursuit" REL="nofollow">The Pursuit Online Store</A>Lew Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063863370041431635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563577408977959863.post-44228529322746209712007-11-07T17:31:00.000-05:002007-11-07T17:31:00.000-05:00Jeff,Great post!

I thought you had some good ideas when you wrote your list on my blog. Your further explanation confirms my thoughts! I would also love to see some of these same elements included in a church meeting. Thanks again!<BR/><BR/>-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.com
