Communion on the Road

 Keith and I recently drove to two meetings, through nine countries, in nineteen days (you'll have to ask him how many kilometers that was in total). 

We officially celebrated communion three times:  first at the Anglican church in Naples on Easter Sunday, 


then with our CBF Europe Team on the last day of our team meeting. 



One team member has such a strong reaction to gluten that her bread could not even be on the same serving plate as the rest of the bread.


The Roma Network Conference also closed with communion.











If you look very closely, you can see Keith, towards the back of the group photo.


And here is Keith again. (Photo courtesy of the Roma Networks website).



We shared communion of a different sort at our last worship service on the road, this time with Tina Boyles Bailey who recently moved from CBF's Asia Team to join us all in Europe. Here she is communing with the pastor of the International  Church in Graz, Austria. 

(Worship services in English & Farsi; delicious cake baked by German church member.) 


Glad to have gone. Glad to be back home, communing with friends, family, and church community here in the Netherlands.
