How to NOT Take Communion {Humor}

There are days as a Christian when I really enjoy a good laugh with my friends. This past Sunday was Communion Sunday, and I couldn’t help but smile as the plate of bread and the little cups of wine were passed around. You see, before and after enjoying and revering in the sacrament of Communion, I had the opportunity to discuss Communion with a few close friends. That got me to thinking about how to NOT take Communion. I believe that God does enjoy a little humor, and I think all folks that take the sacrament can smile at these little nuances. So here we go….How to NOT Take Communion.

1. The Hunter

The person the scrounges and hunts out the BIGGEST piece of bread on the plate or the fullest cup of juice on the tray before making their selection. I’m Guilty of this one.

2. The Double Fister

This is the person that perhaps forgot to have breakfast before coming to church today. An extra cup of wine anyone?

3. The Double Dipper

Are you familiar with the intinction method? Then you know what I’m talking about here. Need I say more?

4. The Water to Wine Believer

You’re so thankful for Communion that day….but wouldn’t it be nice if Jesus had used a burger and a Coke?

5. The Teeth Cleaner

I am definitely worried about this one. You get a little bread stuck in between your teeth. Now what is the polite way to remove such piece? Do I wait for it to dissolve, pick it out, floss?

6. The To-Go Patron

Thought about taking a little extra Communion to-go? I definitely could use an extra blessing for my sins some days.

Please folks, this is NOT a bash on God, Communion or the importance of the sacrament….just a little smile for today. Thanks to my friends for my laugh this weekend and inspiration for this post 🙂
