Bread & Wine (S13 Episode36)

Well, we are in the homestretch of our season here at Nexus. Only four Sundays left until our summer rhythms kick in. So, a final four-week series on the sacraments. Sacraments? Sounds like a stuffy, technical church word. I agree, but I have been excited about this series for months now. Throughout it, we are going to take a look at eucharist and baptism as official sacraments, but how music, and all of life, can function sacramentally as well.

So, for this Sunday, let's discuss Eucharist or communion or the Lord's Supper or the Table, whatever you want to call it. I want to examine how Eucharist functions as an important ritual, sign, and portal. And there are lots of fun and thoughtful places to explore — from the latest research on what rituals actually do, to some serious sign fails, to wildfires, to why I am a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to wine and bread, and why community is so tough.
