Can You Have Church At Home?

“There’s No Pulpit Like Home” read the catchy title of an article in Timemagazine, a news publication that used to be distributed pretty much all over the English-speaking world.  It told of a fellowship of believers who meet together in a home, sing and share their thoughts—their tribulations, their challenges, their problems. They talk and pray, and cry together. There is a reading from the New Testament book of Hebrews followed by more discussion. In the course of their time together, they share a practice that believers have observed from the days of the Upper Room: they break bread and take a cup reflecting on the death and resurrection of Christ. “Communion” they call it.
