Communion Mediations

This section of my web site provides free Communion Mediations (aka, Lord Supper Devotions or Eucharist Devotions).

They may be used free and without attribution (plagiarize away!).

I offer the following suggestions related to this material:

1. Recognize Your Church's Culture – CUT!

My church allows longer thoughts. Please recognize that for most churches, anything over 1 page is too much.

Culturally, we are used to very short Communion mediations. As much as I love my words, I don't want

to hurt your message and ministry. SO: Cut! Chop! Hack!

(Of course, if you're the minister, no one will be concerned as long as the sermon is 2 minutes shorter.)

2. Practice!

3. Make it your own!

4. Recognize that this is Important.
