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.
