When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."
Luke 23:33-34
This week we celebrate the Reign of Christ, the paradoxical kingdom of the crucified and risen one.
No matter if we are full or peace or chaotic, joyous or in despair, God can meet with us.
Our regular Eucharist (aka communion or the Lord’s Supper). Music, prayer, contemplation, silence, maybe a sermon, maybe a chance to engage in a spiritual practice from the Christian tradition together, and, obviously, communion.
Our pattern is to have communion together on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, so that it pairs neatly with Taizé on the first Saturday. If you enjoy one, you might well enjoy the other :)
