At St. Mark’s on Sunday, June 7th, we did an “Instructed Eucharist.” At four points during the service, we paused and I talked us through what was coming up. I based the instruction on something I wrote a few years ago and revised last week called 12 Moments: Reflections for an Instructed Eucharist. What I said during the service was a very abridged version of this pamphlet. Then I handed the full pamphlet out to folks at the end of the service. You can download the pamphlet by clicking the image below or clicking here.
Wonderful idea!
This is great. Thanks for sharing. So many of our churches still just assume that the folks coming in the doors know and get what we’re doing – we can’t assume anymore that people find meaning, we must infuse meaning into what we’re doing. Love this approach.
