Let's Make It Special

Let's Make It Special!

This Saturday, New Song will join Christians around the world by taking communion in a virtual manner.

To celebrate the uniqueness of this special day, let me offer a few suggestions of steps you might take:

Select your bread and wine ahead of time. Freshly baked would be wonderful!
Select a nice plate, cloth, and cup to display the elements.
You might even share a simple meal together immediately before the service...just as the disciples celebrated the Passover meal.
Set up the elements, light the candle, begin our video "Worship At Home."
