09/06/20 THE LORD’S SUPPER AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, OAK RIDGE, TN — Back in the mid-1980s, at one Sunday evening service, the 1500 seat worship center was nearly packed. As we deacons served the Lord’s Supper, we ran out of the “elements”—wafers and/or grape juice! All of us 84 (Yep!) deacons joined hands; our chairman held the Pastor’s hand. The Pastor ate and drank vicariously, “by electricitry,” for the rest of us.
That happened TWICE (best I can remember)! Our church was growing so fast, no one seemed to be able to figure out just how many wafers and how much juice we needed. Hopefully THAT’s a challenge ANY church would LOVE to have. Praise the Lord!
