Rev. Dr. Tom Gibbs
Good afternoon, friends and family! One of the important questions facing the Church (the church universal and local) today is whether we should or should not continue to observe Communion, The Lord’s Supper or The Eucharist, as it is variously called.

Like me, I'm sure that you're finding it hard to believe that we are now into the third week of "sheltering in place" in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. It can seem like things have completely shut down. But, of course, they have not. Routines and responsibilities continue, although differently.
