Holy Supper will be offered in a "Covid safe" way in the Chapel.
If you prefer to stay home and participate through the livestream, you can make your own unleavened bread. Here is a recipe that Elise and I use (for a small amount).
Recipe for Unleavened Bread for Holy Supper
1/4 cup of flour (whole wheat meal or a gluten free alternative).
a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil (or other oil)
2-3 teaspoons of cold water (enough to make it stick together )
(Note: The amounts of the ingredients vary depending on conditions to get the bread to stick together. Don’t worry about that – it is an ancient recipe that predates modern measuring cups, etc.)
Press onto a cookie sheet or into a pie pan.
Bake at about 400 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.
Microwave option:
Alternatively, Elise has had good success by taking small portions and microwaving them for about 1 1/2 minutes.
This simple bread is symbolic of what is loving and good that the Lord provides for our spiritual well-being. If you don’t want to make your own bread, you can substitute something nourishing that you have available.
As for the wine, any simple red grape wine is suitable for representing what the Lord shared with His disciples. For anyone who cannot have wine, alternatives include grape juice or water. Each of these liquid drinks are symbolic of various aspects of the truth that nourishes us spiritually.
The most important elements to emphasize when taking the Holy Supper are your own hunger and thirst for the Lord’s love and wisdom which nourish us spiritually.
