I stole from my church….

Let me explain.   I didn’t so much steal….I took  something to promote the spiritual enlightenment of those not yet aware of this awesomeness.

 

Do you know what this is?    It is the most amazing invention since the iPhone, people.  

It is holy communion…..TO GO.   This little container holds the living flesh and blood of Christ, all in convenient packaging for the Christian on the move. 

A few Sundays ago, after we dropped our kids off in their classrooms,  we made our way into the Sanctuary for the sermon.   The usual greeters at the door handed us our weekly lesson, as well as that little wine cuplet you see above.  

Now, our church is pretty hip.  Every Sunday (unless a church fast is going on), you can find Krispy Kreme donuts and Starbucks coffee free of charge in the lounge area.   I am not a coffee drinker.  I do, however, sometimes partake in a little caffeine to help me keep awake after a rough night.   Really, I drink Hazelnut creamers (6 of them) with a little coffee splashed in.

Sinful, I know.   Especially when I top if off with one of those Krispy Kremes.

Anyhow, as we walked through the door and received our little cup, I actually thought the greeters were handing me a new sample creamer to try out.  How nice of them, I thought.   They must know how I love my creamers.

I stuffed it in my bag to try out later.   Later, the time  came  for the communion portion of our service.  We only do this about every 6 weeks at our church, so I must have missed out on trying out the new communion “creamer” in times past. Or maybe this was the first time?

It was so cool to watch the congregation whip out their little containers and pulling back the plastic lids.   Doug laughed at my amazement over such a neat idea.

But WAIT, it is not just wine (grape juice), in that tiny package, in the top portion,  you will also  find a perfect round and FRESH wafer!

WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS????

I couldn't take it.  I had to share this miraculous invention with the nations.  So on my way out of the sanctuary, I saw a small basket containing these little wonders of the world for the next service on a counter, and I took one. 

I took two, actually.   I ate one for a snack on the way to lunch.

Don’t judge me.  All the excitement over the Communion Creamer (and for the record I am capitalizing it from here forward because that is the official name I give it) made me forget to grab a Krispy Kreme.
