Walking through a rose garden in San Diego, California, I noticed a rosebush that had more than one type of rose growing in its branches. The picture with this blog post is of two roses next to each other in the same rose bush.
I am not playing with the colors on your screen. This is not a test of how you see colors like the Twitter-craze about the black and blue or white and gold dress a couple of years ago.

No matter what part of the world, on Sundays, we gather to commemorate the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We take the bread, representing his body, and drink the fruit of the vine, representing his blood. And no matter where I have worshiped, whether or not I understood the spoken language, I was at home in the community of believers as we shared communion.
Take a moment to reflect on the community in which a missionary you know or one that your church supports, is working. When you take the Lord’s Supper this Sunday, imagine that you are gathered with that community, sharing in the communion of the saints and lift up a prayer of blessing for your fellow Christians in another location.
