Have you every had the Joy of giving communion out at church? [View all]

I have this opportunity every once and awhile in church and I have to say it is a joyous experience. I only give out the wine because in my parish our clergy give out the bread. I have to say when I do this I see Jesus in the face of others. You see the fellowship around the table that has been going on for 2,000 years.

I wonder if any of you would share if you had a similar story? Does not have to be communion, it can be anything in the service that is a moment for you. Any religion.
