Hi Caroline. We have Communion scheduled for Thursday night, March 29 at 7 p.m. I sure hope you can be there. We offer Communion once a quarter. We had to cancel the last one when we cancelled services due to the storm. We also offer Communion in people's homes at their request when they cannot attend a church service. As for your other comments, I am not sure how to respond. I really don't know what you mean. But I am sure as a mature Christian you will come to me personally if you would like to discuss this.
