This meal is not fast food, eaten at your leisure, eaten in the privacy of your car as your life rushes on. This meal is not even a restaurant requiring a booking. This is a family meal, you let the host (and others)know you are coming, and you better have a good excuse if you aren’t!. This is family meal, you make sure you are there. This is a family meal..... (so we can always pull up another seat for last minute guests)
Why do we no longer let the curate know we are to attend communion?
Launch day is here!

Also, the prayerbook says ministers ought to have the courtesy to invite people a week in advance. Why did we lose that one?
I can remember the reading given at college lunch when we were set to have the ol' prayer book communion service that advised us to ready ourselves. It was encouraging and helpful to think how seriously communion was taken. If we must restrict having communion to a monthly or (even) a yearly thing, then we should definitely prepare our people for it.
@ Luke, fair call, why don't we notify people anymore?
@ Kristan
Yeah I remember that too. I'm torn between regular communion and spacing it out a bit to make it something more 'speacial'. Perhaps I should just go regular and special!

Because the curate often only notices that it's on an hour or two beforehand...
