Those gathered about that table found new meaning and purpose for their lives. These symbols speak to us today as we remember that we are part of His fathered community in this world; as we remember the call to ministry which we accept as members of His community. The remind us of the deep, abiding love He offered to each of us so freely and which we are called to share with others. We place the grapes and the wheat before the cross.
Bible reading: Matthew 26:26-28
"Dear God, we are thankful for the community which Jesus, your Son, brought into being. We ask that we have the continuing spirit to be faithful members of that community. Amen.
