For our second week in the Summer Sermon Series, "The Sacred Meal" was the theme. Nancy and Molly used pottery chalices and pitcher, set up a ReTable with dozens of candles, and baked hearty whole-grain bread for use in Communion. Communion was served by way of intinction. These enhancements and practices were used in hopes of invoking a feeling of the early church and connecting with ancient practices.
Additionally, bread machines were set up in the lobby and timed to be baking bread as we entered the building for worship, so that as many senses as possible were engaged.
Also, a table was set up in the narthex, representing a modern family meal. One of the thoughts suggested by this series is that we can find direction for our lives by looking to the ancient ways. Any meal can be an opportunity to connect with the sacred.
