In the last few years I have been able to attend some Salvation Army services . One thing that surprised me is that they do not put stress on the formal Communion Service- with the bread and wine. However it has struck me how appropriate their interpretation of the Eucharist is under the present circumstances. Tó them service is communion- so to those who miss their regular church attendance as I do , every time you run an errand , shop for a housebound neighbour, collect a prescription, or offer your help in any way --that is a form of Communion. To those who are classed as essential workers and put themselves at risk every time they go to work. Or simply to those who serve the community by doing their best to isolate themselves and thus are cut off from their families and loved ones, to those who because of thís cannot be with someone who is ill or even be at the side of someone they love who is dying. This is all service.
We will eventually be able to attend our churches again but this is a lesson we can take to heart.
I found a wonderful hymn in the Salvation Army song book which puts this better than I could ever do. It was written by Albert Orsborn also known as the Poet General.

My life must be Christ’s broken bread,
My love His outpoured wine;
A cup o’erfilled, a table spread
Beneath His name and sign,
That other souls, refreshed and fed,
May share His life through mine.

My all is in the Master’s hands
For Him to bless and break;
Beyond the brook His winepress stands,
And thence my way I take,
Resolved the whole of love’s demands
To give for His dear sake. ... See MoreSee Less
