This is what a visitor once said to me when they came to Christ Community. "That was the first time I skipped communion. I don't know or trust Jesus the way you said communion represents."
Lately I've been thinking on the question and wondered how you might answer:
"Have you ever had what you'd call an encounter with God--like my friend had--when you were preparing for or taking communion???"
let me know, really
