September 13 Worship

9/7/2015

This Sunday is joint worship with Moraine Valley Community Church as well as enjoying a picnic together.  The theme for worship is "Table Fellowship."   Certainly, the two congregations will be enjoying table fellowship with the picnic, but this idea extends even to our worship and beyond.  In worship we will be enjoying table fellowship around the sacrament of Holy Communion.   Let me have you think further....

Here is a passages for reflection"

"And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.  And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, 'Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?'  And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.'"  Mark 2:15 - 17

Table fellowship becomes important for us as we consider its implications beyond church.  Are we willing to gather around the table with people we might not have seen for a while?  Are we willing to gather around the table with people in our communities in order to get to know them better and hear their stories?  

I would invite to you attend worship this Sunday and the picnic and may God's blessing be upon you as you reflect on this theme.

    I invite you to reflect on these words of Scripture in preparing for worship.
