first communion

I had my first real (not Unitarian animal cracker and grape juice ireverent) communion this morning. I was at Union Bridge Church of the Brethren. The sermon was about Leah, Rachel, & Jacob, but mostly Leah. He told about an unsuccessful fishing trip and that our life, like Leah's life is disappointing. Having read The Red Tent recently, I think of Leah as a capable strong woman, not a perpetually disappointed one. Interesting.

And we all had bread (so gross and not cooked all the way through) and grape juice. And sang some hymns and prayed.

Praise Jesus.
