Scriptural Drama
SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:1-2, 1:31-2:3; Revelations 21:1-5
This morning, on Layity Sunday, we will be pausing the series on Holy Communion to look at the Bible in a new way. The Drama of Scripture helps us to read the Bible not as a collection of short stories or poems but to read it as a comprehensive story. Knowing the “whole story” will help us place ourselves in the story and discover what God wants from each one of us as individuals. God has loved us and sought us from Creation, will we learn how best to seek Him?
9:30 am – Live and Online Worship in the Sanctuary
10:30 am – Friendship Time

Extending the Table
SCRIPTURE: Luke 18:9–14; John 17:21
This series focuses on Holy Communion and the biblical theme of shared meals. When we break bread together, whether at the family dinner table or at the Lord’s table, we share in fellowship and love with God and with one another. Over these four weeks, we move from setting the table to inviting guests, blessing the meal and extending the table.
When we come together at tables with friends and family, we feel deeper connections and we create memories that last well beyond the dinner party. When we come together at this Table of Jesus, the connections we are called to make extend beyond this time and place — beyond this table — to include a connection to the needs of a hurting world. Because we have been invited, blessed and loved here, we too must invite, bless and love the world into connection and wholeness. This final service of the series focuses us on the last part of the Great Thanksgiving prayer that asks God to “make us one with each other and one in ministry to all the world.”
