Awakening to the Table

The Great Fifty Days of Easter — Series Overview

Third Sunday of Easter, Year A

This week we are awakening to the meaning of the sacrament of Holy Communion. Often, when we think about stories from the Scriptures that speak to the practice of the Lord’s Supper, we may limit our range to the traditional texts associated with the holy meal...But there are other stories from Scripture besides these well-known ones that inform our practice of Holy Communion.

​Offertory Prayer

Generous God, we would be lost without the gift of your living, enduring word in Scripture. You teach us the mystery that Jesus, your dear Son, who willingly gave his life to ransom us from death. Guide our hearts by your Spirit to set our hopes on you, not on perishable things like money. Accept these offerings in gratitude for all that you provide for us. Embolden our church to bring your word to enrich the lives of our neighbors. Through Christ, the source of new life, we pray. Amen. (1 Peter 1:17-23)
