Breaking (Gluten-free) Bread

When representatives rom our Encourager Church in Columbia, MO, visited, breaking bread together took on new meaning. Michael McEntyre(pictured on the right, far away from the stack of bread) cannot eat gluten. Gluten is normally found in all kinds of bread made from wheat flour. 

Fortunately, many regular grocery stores stock gluten-free products. Michael carried a supply with him to places like this Sunday afternoon feast with our Roma brothers and sisters from Moldova who are working in North Holland. They were eager to celebrate the Lord's Supper with us and with their pastor Petru Ciochina, who had traveled from Moldova for this weekend. 

When Petru invited Michael to share in leading this part of our worship time, Michael pulled out one of his gluten-free breads. "Genial! (great)" Petru exclaimed. 

He put the mini-loaf on the plate, and we all at the same bread, gluten-free.

Thank you, Jesus!
