Sunday Lenten Series
Nourished by Love: The Holy Eucharist
The Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood and principal act of Christian worship during which God’s self-giving love is front and center as is the gift of Jesus and the gift of life and love through Christ. For Christians today, the Eucharist is a continuing celebration of God’s new covenant, lived out by the community of the risen Christ, joined as one body, bringing new and eternal life to all who do not refuse it. Through this sacrament, the sharing of a special meal, Christ reaches into our lives—and we pledge our lives to Christ and to one another as members of the same family of God.
During the season of Lent, we will imagine what it means to be nourished by love through the holy meal of the Eucharist through its connections to the one who told his disciples to “do this in remembrance of me.” We begin the series with a look at the diverse ways we celebrate and share in the Eucharistic meal here at the Church of the Redeemer in hopes to communicate God’s love and Jesus’ self-giving to everyone in our community (February 18).
The following weeks, we explore the Eucharist as:
Community and Hospitality (February 25)
Resistance and Renewal (March 3)
Justice (March 10)
“Living Eucharistic Life in the World,” our series finale (March 17), send us back into world with renewed spirits to live into what we will learn to dream and be transformed by the myriad of things that Holy meal means for our one body.
The series, “Nourished by Love: The Holy Eucharist,” will take place in the Palor on Sundays, from 10 am to 10:50 am.
