Benediction for Communion Service: Taste and See (based on Psalm 34:8)

Communion is about action ... "taste and see," the Psalmist tells us.

So, now that we've taken the bread and cup, what are we going to do? If we are truly experiencing communion, we will be driven to offer the bread and cup - in whatever form it's needed - to others ... to whomever needs it. In so doing, our sense of community will widen in ways that may sometimes seem scary but are also exhilarating.

This is the work that communion brings us to.
