It's a while since we talked about Messy Eucharists. Chris emailed today asking if we knew of any happening, especially in an ecumenical setting. I've blogged in years past about St Wilf's ventures into the sacraments, but now that the website lets us take comments (whoop), and now that there are many Messy Churches who have given it a try, can we share some more experiences of Messy Communions?

Messy Communion
L19: Messy Sharing, in south Liverpool, with the theme of The Lord's Supper and a Messy Communion, was so very special and shall remain always in our memories as the most respectful, joyous, all-age celebration which we can't wait to repeat! We used the excellent script in Messy Church 2 which worked well with ninety of us, linking up the crafts, preparation of the table and serving each other. We added 'I wonder' questions at the Messy meal time and responded with comments written on the paper table cloths.

Wish I could comment - chance would be a fine thing. Glad it's happening somewhere though
November Remembering; Passover/Communion
Hi, we are doing the Remembering Chapter from Messy Book 3 this month. It suggests a Passover/Communion meal. A member of the team has expressed concerns about this not being suitable or reverent enough (we also have a very young group) and I was wondering if anyone else had experience of this.We are in Interrregnum at the moment so can't even ask the Vicar! Thanks.

I just thought what an excellent idea to get feedback via comments on a paper table cloth. Simple but effective!
