Eucharist - Thanksgiving

For several decades many in the We Are Church movement have met regularly to celebrate the Eucharist together in our homes and at other gatherings. The arrival of the Covid pandemic led to a switch early in 2020 to holding these Eucharists online using ZOOM.

Celebrating ZOOM Eucharists has brought We Are Church closer together as a movement.

We have gathered some of the texts we have used for these Eucharists which we hope may encourage others to organise a house Eucharist or ZOOM Eucharist with a group of friends.
