Everything comes together this coming weekend with and environmental all-age communion. The passage is the same as todays: Job 38:1-7 (maybe extended a little more) and we bring together a month of environmental stuff by breaking the grain of the earth and the fruit of the soil.
There is a bit of a blank canvas for next week and so it would be good to put into practice some of the many ideas we've had through all our communion discussions and thing about bread and wine in an environmental context. This means I'm keen to talk about everything from hymns to the words over the bread and wine, from the worship space to how we distribute it, from music to sanctus.
Hopefully from the discussion we can take what will work in this particular context at this particular time and save up the rest.
So, as a starter for ten, how do the bread and wine link with the environment? Where is the sacrament of the earth? How do Jesus words of sacrifice speak to us about ecology and the way we live in the world? What does communion call us to do? How is our salvation seen and tasted in a "Bio-mass"? What colour should the communion cloth be? Should we use the communion table or a different shaped table? How shall we serve each other bread and wine?
