Mime Holy Communion Service
This past Maundy Thursday Service, Dr. Alan Gorrell and Donna Camper
concluded our service with a powerful silent Mime Communion, depicting the birth, life and death of Christ with a loaf of bread as the focal point.
Pastorally, let me encourage you to consider inviting Alan and Donna to share this powerful enactment with any small group you attend, both inside and outside our church.
