Taster for Sunday

Part of the contemporary reading for Sunday. Still a wee bit rough and please do add to it if you wish... Isaiah 65:17-25 had a vision, a dream for the community when they returned from Babylon. The dream is still the same but maybe we would use new words.

I have a dream for the church
where communion becomes a moment heaven breaks in
where the conversation is not how good the wine tastes
but how good God tastes
and bread leaves crumbs like it exploded with heaven
because it just couldn’t contain the celebration
communion where Jesus is met
and choices are made
that are allowed to shape our living
where Mass and Eucharist and Lords Supper all mean one thing
a feast of heaven
and all are welcome
and all participate
because there is always enough for everyone
and a place is kept for them all
I have a dream for the church

Sunday Service

  • Fairly traditional with new creative moments each week. An attempt to engage all the senses with people who don't always go for the linear approach. Lots of questions and few answers, a little movement and lots of layers for all ages. A community attempting to grow, celebrate and adventure. Every week.

    A collection of contemporary liturgies and creative moments from the last month in Abbotsford. If you'd like to receive a copy each month then just email the link at the top of the other column. To unsubscribe, do the same with UNSUBSCRIBE in the text body. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't but we believe (most of us) that it is worth being creative.
