If you were to ask United Methodists what is the central act we do based on our history, some might say “worship” while others might say “singing” or “missions” etc.
For the Hebrew people Passover is an annual celebration which recalls their freedom from slavery in Egypt as described in the book of Exodus.
For followers of Christ, we also have a sacred meal which recalls our freedom from slavery! What are (were) we slaves to? The scriptures tell us we are slaves to sin and death. Followers of Christ believe that we have been set free by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The sacred meal is called by many names – the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist, Holy Communion.
Tomorrow at Albright we will celebrate this sacred meal. Listen for images of the Passover. Listen for images of slavery. Listen for images of freedom.
All are welcome! Please come.
