Session Description
The Lord's Supper involves sharing real food that comes from Jesus Christ and that knits us together into his body and helps us to share in his life. John Calvin called this food nourishment for the journey of discipleship. In this hour, we will consider the relationship between this table and the other tables in our lives, all the ways we share food together as Christian people. In a sense, the pinnacle of Christian Worship is the sharing Lord's Supper and the proclamation of the Word. We also want to see how this meal can be a central point of the Christian life.

Practicing Abundant Life Around the Table
The Lord's Supper involves sharing real food that comes from Jesus Christ and that knits us together into his body and helps us to share in his life. John Calvin called this food nourishment for the journey of discipleship. In this hour, we will consider the relationship between this table and the other tables in our lives, all the ways we share food together as Christian people. In a sense, the pinnacle of Christian Worship is the sharing Lord's Supper and the proclamation of the Word. We also want to see how this meal can be a central point of the Christian life.
