"Adam & Eve Ale" and Communion!

So this past Sunday, the Pub Ministry gathered at the apartment and we partook of a very interesting ale, and communion as well. Last week we discussed the future of the group, and the steps we needed to take in order to really be a ministry and a pub church if you would. The 1st step we decided on was that we needed to participate in disciplines of worship. Matt, one of our Pub Ministry "Six Pack" decided that it would be best to join in one of the first acts ever commanded by Jesus, and this was communion.
We drank from a White Merlot, and partook of a loaf of French bread. There was joy and solemnity at the same time, overall a successful communion.

There was discussion on how we felt Jesus approached ministry, mainly coming to the point that they really enjoyed and embraced the concept of Jesus coming as a friend, into your place in life regardless of where you were, not just the poor and discarded such as cripples and prostitutes, but also to the home of Pharisees, Jesus excluded none. We discussed the Passion of the Christ and also what our reactions would have been had we the ability to go back in time and witness it, with 20/20 hindsight as to what was really going on.

Finally the ale of the week was "Adam & Eve Ale" from *ahem* Great Sex Brewery (go figure the Newlywed picked it out), which was more of a brown ale and was very creamy and bread-like in aroma but had a sweet finish.

This was the final installment of Blue Like Jazz, and next week we begin our reading of The Relevant Church.

See you next week!
