At the beginning of the Sunday service, Cheri asked Queenie if the ladies share communion, and we all agreed it was very important, but we didn't mention it after starting the Bible reading. After we had read through different sections of Job and talked, we were closing in prayer. The children often come in and out of the service since it's aimed at adults. They usually play or color a picture.
While we were praying, Alice and Bethany came in, carrying a jug of pineapple juice, and they had a plate with a torn peice of bread on it! Alice also walked around to each of us, and pressed a 5 or 10 cent coin into our hands.
She said, "This is for offering." We don't usually take offering at the church here, and it has been discussed by all the ladies. They agree it's important, but as of yet we haven't been collecting an offering. Alice caught the importance of it, and took initiative! She also realized the importance of communion for the Church, and tried to implement that as well. She couldn't find grape juice, so pineapple would do, and she opened a loaf of bread from the house, and took a slice of it to the church. What a girl! She really wanted to have communion, but we decided to wait until all of the ladies (or most of them) were able to be there. We decided to have communion this coming Sunday. Praise the Lord!
