Mashups?! Yes!

One year, my best friend went to a Halloween party where he had to dress up as a mashup.  He dressed up as Deer Hunter Thompson (Like, a deer hunter and Hunter Thompson).  His friend went as Spongebob Marley.  

I just love mashups.  I love seeing how things connect with one another.  Like when two different songs have the same chord progressions.  I love hearing the beauty in bringing two things together.  It is true communion.  And it is holy.

People often ask me what we do with the leftover communion bread at the end of worship on a Communion Sunday service.  Do we throw it away?  Feed it to the birds?


Well, I save it.  I dry it and I save it.


A vital part of American Congregationalism is the annual Church Fair.  At the church where I serve, we have a turkey supper the night of the Church Fair.  People come from all over to have a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings.

My addition to the Turkey Supper is the mashup of Communion Bread Stuffing.  I take the leftover communion bread I've been saving all year and turn it into stuffing to go along with the turkey, potatoes, cranberries, and apple crisp.  It seems only right to have "blessed" stuffing at a church Fair.  Right?!  Can I get an Amen?!
