Extending the Table: A Guide for a Ministry of Home Communion Serving

"Who is missing?" Mark Stamm says this is a quesion the church should ask every time its members gather around the Lord's Table.

Participation in the Lord's Supper is not a ritual action we perform as isolated individuals, Stamm points out. Instead, we partake of the sacrament with the whole church in mind, even those who cannot attend.
