Yes, I know it isn't like me, but, hey, anything's possible! It isn't only Jews who fast -after all, we share the same Bible - well, the Old Testament bit, at least. There are plenty of bits in the New Testament that talk about Christians fasting as well ( I won't bore others here by quoting stuff, but if you want to know more, I'll email you). Christians usually fast as a type of prayer, though...and, Carol, I don't know how to tell you this... fasting means no chocolate. You can pick yourself off the floor now! Our next communion is the first Sunday in October. As elders, we have special duties in church that day - we give out the elements of bread and wine to the congregation. Before the Communion Sunday, though, we have visiting to do. Each elder has a district; a number of houses for which he or she is responsible, to encourage, talk with, counsel, console - that kind of thing. Each elder visits their district as often as they feel the need to, but we must visit before each communion, inviting the members to come, arranging a home communion for those who are housebound, etc. I'm starting my round next week. I have fifteen houses to visit. My problem isn't getting into the houses - I know my route backwards. It's getting back out again! It usually takes me a lot longer than other elders....probably 'cos I can't shut up! -----Original Message----- From: üa "Carol O'Connor - Email Address: missbossyboots33@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 16/09/2012 23:01 Sent To: guide chat - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] Church Good evening daft jim well we have holy communion every month.
