A softer touch, I hope, will bear more fruit.Keith H.

It may take a few years, but it's a goal worth working toward.</I><BR/><BR/>Why would it take a few years? Why can't you just start having holy communion weekly? So what if the service runs 15 or 20 minutes long? I wished my local UMC had weekly communion. I think you should just start doing it. Forget about easying them into it, throw them in lake.<BR/><BR/>Just my UM layman's two cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
