EUCHARIST

MEANING OF THE MEAL

The Eucharist is a table of gratitude, where Christ is at the centre of community, and where we are invited to live Eucharist lessons in our everyday lives.
To celebrate that Jesus always invites us to the feast of belonging.
To celebrate that Jesus always sits beside us, never scared off by what’s inside of us.
To celebrate that Jesus always sends us out from the meal to share peace, to work for justice, and to grow in love.
And so God gathers us in.
Those full of faith and those doubting.
Those whose hearts know love and those who feel alone.
Those of strength and those tired and aching.

STORY
Listen to the story of the Lord’s Supper.

On the night that Jesus was betrayed, he ate a meal with his disciples. While they were eating, he took a piece of bread, said a blessing, broke it, and gave it to them with the words, “This is my body. It is for you. Do this to remember me.” Later, he took a cup of wine, saying, “This cup is God’s covenant, sealed with my very life. Drink from it, all of you, to remember me.”

PRAYER

As Jesus said a prayer before sharing, let us do so too.
Creator God, present at this meal,
the bread that we break and the cup that we share
are places where our Saviour meets us.

Broken, we are being made whole.
Poured out, we are filled with joy once again.
Holy Spirit, bless these elements.
Amen.
