CommunionFire In Brookgreen Gardens And The Hibachi Grill

Brookgreen Gardens a new location for CommunionFire!

Sharing the miracle of CommunionFire on Loading Docks, On the Streets with the Homeless, in Movie Theaters, Churches, House Groups and Hospitals, with Shut Ins and even on Kayaks... and this Saturday it was the Hibachi Grill in Florence, SC  and Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC. The Lord's Table is wherever He blesses the bread and the wine to lead those who partake into the Miracle of CommunionFire. 

Saturday in Brookgreen Gardens http://www.brookgreen.org/

Joe & Veronica LaMena who host the Murrells Inlet Gathering for CommunionFire on Wednesday evenings wanted to add a new dimension to their CommunionFire experiences. 

We believe they may be the first couple to ever have Communion via Kayaks, at least on Murrells Inlet! 

Now they have purchased memberships in order to enjoy the historic Brookgreen Gardens and as a new location to add to their CommunionFire map! They were there on Friday and after walking in the heavenly manicured, 9100 Acre landmark with over 1400 spectacular garden-set and pavilion-set statues, they took a seat in front of a statue called "Visionaries". It was of the founders of the gardens, designed by Anna Hyatt Huntington. It was there they decided to have Communion. 

Just as they were finishing up a tour came through and they got up only to discover the bench they happened to pick had an inscription on it, "This Bench Provided in Honor of William Franklin Graham and Ruth Bell Graham." Joe said, "You can't make this stuff up! Out of 150 outdoor sculptures, benches and sitting areas, we happened to pick one where the seat reserved for us at the Lord's Table happened to be dedicated by a donor to Billy Graham and his wife! 

Saturday Afternoon at Hibachi Grill in Florence

Camille and I met very dear friends for a three hour meal to catch up on family, friends and life as they were passing through from Baltimore on their way home to Florida.

Lloyd and Mary have been traveling for 2 years around the world and on 4+ tours of the United States as part of a leadership team for promoting revival of conservative values. While on tour they have had CommunionFire almost every day. 

Mary says, "We won't communicate with the outside world until we have Communion together. 


Lloyd told us that, "I won't make any important decision unless I have Communion first."

Then the four of us had Communion together in Hibachi Grill. Lloyd said that during the bread he immediately heard the Lord say, "No one comes to the Father but by Me." As he shared he pointed at the Communion elements. Then in the wine he heard the Lord again say, "I am the bread of life!" Again pointing at the elements on the table.

The Table of the Lord is wherever you gather together for Communion. Jesus said He is in the midst wherever (even) 'two or three are gathered together in His name."

How much sweeter it is when it is somewhere as beautiful as Brookgreen Gardens or with friends who have become family.
