To help affirm the Home Hospice Team in the fantastic work they do caring for dying patients in their homes, I provided a short service of honor and blessing.  This 10 minute service took place at the beginning of our Team Meeting.  There was a responsive litany in which each discipline was to read a prayer with the whole group joining in affirmation with the response, “Hear our Prayer.”  We took turns serving each other Holy Communion at the end.  Since we meet around a table each week, it seemed like a no brainer to have table fellowship that included the Eucharist as we bless the team.  The team responded positively to the event.  Each of them goes far beyond the routine expectations in the work they do.  They are a great group to work with even though I am only assigned to their clinical area one day a week.
