Sunday, March 24th, Mitchell Presbyterian Church had quite unusual Communion experience upon the session's approval. Pastor Je led the Communion using the elements of doughnut holes, coffee and tea. It was to remind and emphasise that God is always with us no matter where we are, including our work places. Many people have doughnuts and coffee at work, and these elements were chosen as the reminders.
