As Jan Richardson prepares the beloved community to come to the communion table, she writes, "(God) To your table we come. Hungering for your bread, we come; thirsting for your wine, we come; singing your song in every language, speaking your name in every tongue, in conflict and in communion, in discord and in desire, we come, O God of Wisdom, we come."
If I say "we are coming to the table" in worship, most of you will know I am talking about sharing Holy Communion. But have you ever considered the importance of tables in our liturgy and in our lives? As we explore this familiar story in Luke 22, I think you will come to agree with me that without the table, this pivotal event in the ministry of Jesus would not be happening. Join us this Holy Week Thursday evening, April 2 @7:00 PM Pacific as we talk about tables - communion tables, kitchen tables, picnic tables, underrated tables, seating assignments, hospitality, and the holy (and sometimes not so holy) complexities of gathering at tables. I look forward to being with you for In “Conflict and In Communion We Come”: A Place at the Table (trapeza:: τράπεζα).
Join us on Zoom, or by phone (audio only): (669) 900-6833. or join us here for the sermon live stream.
