There’s such an energetic buzz when two thousand Christian musicians, singers and tech teams gather in one place. With a focus on worship, improving skills and inspiring talent, the Christian Musician Summit (CMS) was more than hands-on training and a place to hear some of our favorite artists in a worship concert.
...The latest and greatest resources for churches filled the exhibit halls. I count it a privilege that Celebrate Communion was invited to share our innovative resources with this group from across the Northwest.

In anticipating Easter this year, at the top of their list of things they were looking forward to, was celebrating Communion together. ...she quoted the familiar Bible text but shrugged her shoulders to indicate this 4-year old girl didn’t quite understand....
Is It Possible to Celebrate Communion too Often
Posted by Dana Tan on 3/16/2012

The first thing I found was a very old writing by a Greek Orthodox priest named Macarius Notaras from the 18th century. He advocated that Communion should be taken as frequently as possible. He stated "To receive Communion the usual two or three times a year is good and helpful, but to receive Communion more frequently is far better." He even went so far as to point out an irony in that we feed our bodies two or three times a day, why do we restrict feeding our souls to so few time a year? This surprised me a little because I expected a priest from such a strictly liturgical would give a far more rigid answer, but that wasn't the case.

One is a low-gluten product, containing only 0.01% gluten and the other is completely 100% gluten-free with zero gluten. Which one is really safe for celiacs?
