The Vicar's Notes

What's Up With That Communion Bread?!

“Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.”

If you’ve been in Sunday worship sometime during the last couple of months, you have probably received fresh-baked bread at Eucharist, in place of the wafers we often share. (I know that many of you have noticed this switcheroo, because you’ve mentioned it or asked about it.)

Truthfully, I prefer bread to wafers, for a reason I’ll share momentarily.  But I didn’t set out to impose a Eucharistic preference on the whole lot of us.  At first, we were just beginning our journey through the “bread discourses” in the Gospel of John – a series of 6 weeks during the Lectionary Cycle’s “Year B” when we read passages from the 6th chapter of John, all having to do in some way with “bread.”

    I serve as the Vicar of Grace.  A word from our English heritage in the Episcopal Church, "Vicar" means that I serve as the priest and pastor of this congregation.
