Come to the Table
April 6, 2003

On Sunday, April 6th, a workshop entitled Come to the Table was held at 5:30pm at the church.  Since our church officially opened the communion table to children of all ages, this was way to educate both children and adults into the many meanings of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.  Rather than lectures or classes, the intent was to involve participants in a holistic experience.  Through a series of 4 sessions that explore the meaning and origin of the elements of the Communion service, participants gained new insights and a fresh perspective.  All children and adults were invited to share a simple meal, participate in the sessions, and then came together to share a Communion meal with other members of the Church family.
4 Sessions

To understand the basics behind the Communion elements and service, the following 4 sessions were presented.  Groups moved from one session to the next until rotated through all sessions.

  • Making Matzoh Bread
  • How-To's of the Table
  • Writing the Great Prayer of Communion
  • Bulletin Cover Art
