Shortly after we started attending our church, we offered to provide the communion bread once a month. Having a small bread business, it seemed a simple way to support them and even connect the women in our community to the church.
They have LOVED the bread.
I don’t know what you believe about communion elements; I don’t know what your church does with the extras. We live in an impoverished area, and we don’t attend an extremely wealthy church, so the idea of wasting it is unheard of. As soon as the service is over, there is a crowd around the remaining bread.
Knowing they loved it so much, I made some for fun this week. I made three batches of their favorite and brought little rolls for everyone to add into our meal of pork fat & rice. {I know, be jealous. And know that I focus on the cucumbers.}
This is my favorite picture of Pranee & Ah Tee yet. They have such big hearts and great facial expressions 🙂
The bread was such a hit! And since we brought sixteen people (of forty) and provided more than a few distractions during the service, it was a nice peace offering to a church that is so loving and kind to us!
You didn’t have 12 baskets left over did you??? : ) I used to make whole wheat communion bread for church. Maggie hated whole wheat but loved the whl wh communion bread!! I’d make extra for us because we loved it so much too.
It’s so endearing to me that you do bread and flowers. I LOVE baking homemade bread. For the past several years my goal has been to bake all our bread. Alas, a goal unmet. Life is just too fast and I have too many responsibilities.
As to flowers, you may have noticed that I’m trying to break into wedding floral AGAIN. I’m half-hearted about it but I’m doing it so Allison can learn the business and maybe make flowers part of her interests. It’s hard when she’s coordinating so many young children.
Yes, bread and flowers make me smile.
Love you two!!!
