Thanx for providing the opportunity In the stillness of time
Somewhere in between the lines
Hidden in Your Name
Kept safe in Your love
Was this moment where I met You

I’d never thought that I would have communion via the internet…surprisingly it moved me.
Thanx for providing the opportunity

Amazing this technological world we live in now that we can share communion together with our sisters from all over the world and be united in our spirits before God. I felt such a presence of God here in my little office with candles lit and bread and wine before me. So grateful. So peaceful. So loving. God is the healer of the broken and I feel a new sense of wholeness. Thank you. It was beautiful Anita and I thank you for making it possible for all of us to be included.

Thank you.

I love that the two of you met at the table in that way and most of all that you intend to have communion again when you come together in two weeks. I remember the first communions D and I had together and how incredible it was; to go the table with the woman I most loved to worship the God I most adored. When our loves come together it's about as sweet as it gets! TDK–> I can’t add a thing to what you wrote except I LOVE IT!

I'd be more than happy to receive communion a dozen times a day and never would it mean less than the time before. I'm so blessed to hear of the experience you and Jessica had during communion. One of my prayers had been that those who came could enjoy the stillness that comes when we know we're in God's presence and are being held safely and lovingly. And yes Melissa, you and Jessica absolutely belonged at the table with us, and what a gift that you came.

It was an incredibly tender moment. My love and I are separted by several hundred miles. And yet today, for the first time in our dating life, via Skype and your site, we were able to join together in communion. We pray together every day, but to be able to each have our communion laid out, to read the verses and listen to the music -- and to know that in that space-time continuum we were meeting at the Table of the Lord. It was moving. And to know that there were other Sisterfriends throughout the world gathering with you. How incredibly pleased our Lord must be that so many of His people are participating right now world wide. As for my love and I, we will be together in two weeks and plan to share communion again as it was so refreshing to our Spirits. Thanks Anita for making this possible! May God richly bless yours and true love's life and we will be praying for your speedy recovery. God Bless! Thank you Anita for this experience. It was an incredibly tender moment.

I could not have imagined the stillness that surrounded us. There were tears throughout, lifted prayers, but mostly... stillness. We belonged there, with Him, with all of you, and no one was debating it. How beautiful to feel complete acceptance and unconditional love (And a perfect way to welcome J and I back home as we spent the day traveling). You have such a gentle spirit, Anita and it shines through in your words and your voice. I would like to pass this on, if I may. God bless you, Anita, and all of you here. It feels like home. Much love. Tonight Jessica and I shared communion with you. I could not have imagined the stillness that surrounded us. There were tears throughout, lifted prayers, but mostly… stillness.

You've been through such a major transition in your life and I pray that while an affirming faith community might not be near to where you are, God continues to find other ways to meet the deepest longings of your heart and that God would continue to bring you comfort as you continue to grieve the distance between you and the places and people you love. You're a dear sister in Christ and cherished as one. Blessings, Me Sherry—> I’m standing with you in all that you are feeling, weeping over and praying for.
