ALTAR BREAD BAKER

Contact:

Deborah Williams

The bread for the two Sunday Eucharists and occasional special services is prepared at home by a member of the altar bread ministry. Bread bakers are fortunate to participate in a ministry that both promotes individual spirituality and provides an essential element of the Eucharist. Stirring yeast and flour together and kneading the dough gives us time to slow down and reflect. Bringing the baked bread to the service allows us to provide a tangible symbol of the kingdom of heaven and Jesus’ role in nourishing us and helping us grow spiritually. This is a great way for children and teens to contribute to worship. Time commitment averages monthly and bread can be baked ahead of time and frozen. We have the recipe; you just need to be able to follow it!
