Read
Read one or more of the following texts:
Luke 22:14-23
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
This meal is not one that we eat for our
physical nourishment (what are those wafers really made out of?). It is not going to calm any hunger pains that
we have. Yet, it is the most important
meal of the week in our lives of faith.
In this simple meal of bread and wine, we
taste the grace of Christ. We are fed by
the promise that God loves us always. We
are connected in community with all those at the same table as well as those
who have gathered at other tables in other times and places. This is a meal that offers us hope, peace and
grace.

Bless
Offer a blessing. Use “May you be
nourished by God’s love,” or make up your own as a reminder of God’s love in
your life. Make the sign of the cross on
each other’s forehead as you do this. If
desired, use water to make the cross.
Bonus Activity:
Bake a loaf of bread today. You can even use a baking mix if you
like. As you mix the ingredients, think
about how many grains of wheat it took to make the flour you’re baking
with. It takes a lot of wheat to make a
loaf of bread—just like it takes a lot of people to make a church!
