Mark 2; Zechariah 8
We kick off year two of Eucharist Church by revisiting our first series: “Bread & Wine.”
The Christian has to know how to lament, and how to praise. How to mourn, and how to celebrate. How to recognize both exile and home.
This week was our attempt at a liturgy combining feasting, fasting, and maranatha.
Music led by Tim Selles and Jeff Wynands.
Luke 11; John 4, 17; 1 Corinthians 12
We kick off year two of Eucharist Church by revisiting our first series: “Bread & Wine.”
As the table grows and grows, we find that we are surrounded by people with radically different backgrounds, stories, and convictions; which will naturally cause tension.
War and peace, spiritual gifts, style of music, time of gathering, sexual ethics, colour of carpet, end of times, alcohol, dancing, playing cards, and dress code - churches fight and divide over all sorts of issues.
But what if it was possible to be united at the table? What if there was a better way? What if we were eucharistic?
What would happen if we took Jesus’ prayer seriously?
Because coming to the table is easy, but staying is hard.
Music led by Joel Cumby and friends - starts 50 min in.

Deuteronomy 16; Matthew 11; Luke 14; Galatians 3; Colossians 1; Revelation 7
We kick off year two of Eucharist Church by revisiting our first series: “Bread & Wine.”
If asked what the central image of the Christian story is, most of us would respond with “the cross.”
That would be a pretty good answer.
Certainly the cross is crucial, and absolutely key to the Christian story, but there is another image that is perhaps just as significant as the cross. That image in the table.
From beginning to end, the biblical story points to the table as the place where salvation and new life is found. And the table keeps getting bigger.
Music led by Joel Cumby and friends - starts 43 min in.
