Wednesday Wonder
June 27, 2018
As we move through our summer series, A Meal Called Communion, we are exploring what it means to eat together in Christian community. For Christians the Lord's Supper is the center of our worship and the symbol of our identity. We are what we eat, with whom we eat and how we eat. With Christ as the host we become joyful guests at the sacred table of plenty.
I have a challenge for you. Begin to think who you might invite to Broadway's table. There is always enough, always room, and always an empty chair at the table. As fall arrives and people begin to settle into new patterns who will you invite to join you? Who is the person who seems to have fallen away from faith, the embers having grown cold? Who is the person who has passed through an enormous life change and is ready for a new spiritual challenge? Who is the person who is a practicing Christian but lacks the warmth of Christian community?
If you will open your mind and heart to it the people who need your loving contact will present themselves: reality follows intention, we attract what we envision, and open hearts see what is before them.
Remember: The Disciples of Christ in general and Broadway in particular is a church of the open table. We are a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. And YOU can be part of the reconciling, peace-making, hope-filled future in our community and beyond.
Who do you see joining you at the Lord 's Table? Who needs an invitation?
