eucharist

Monthly, we come together in the evening and share new styles of Eucharist.

We dip our toes into various liturgies and moments that stretch us, provoke us, and allow us to dive into a peace that is deep and sacred in a darkened church.

a wee quote:

Very atmospheric and somehow more meaningful, the entire service was so effective. Oh! the common cup, a lot of thought was put into the service, it seemed more personal, beautiful background music and very effective lighting, only one white tablecloth was used, much more focused that the normal communion service, it was a pity that all the congregation could not have experienced this.

what we do:

A half-hour service that is designed to engender peace and communion with the depth of creation.

With the use of silence, echo, slides, and lighting, we allow ourselves to find emotions Presbyterians often forget they have. We allow meditation on the sacred words and poetry of heaven. We enable a sense of waiting and excitement through music and liturgy, darkness and mystery.

the words:

Listen:
Can you hear God breathe?

Listen:
Reach out. Touch the silence

Listen:
Within the stillness lies the mystery of heaven

Listen to the hush
It is the flow of the kingdom
It is sacred
It is full of God

Listen:
And meet the bread-maker
The grape-treader
All around you
In the silence

SILENT PAUSE

(Enya Smaointe&ldots;)

Silence is the only remembrance
Silence is anathema to guns and bombs and wails
Silence is the wind dancing with poppies in fields
Red and pink and purple and white poppies

Silence is the brokenness of the world
The rolling of tears from a creator
The cost, O the cost of love
For the one who gave the greatest love

Silence is the conscience of a people
Who have gathered to themselves all the hope they have
And who long to love the world again
Love it into peace

In silence we share the needs of the world
With the longings of God
Silence: our meeting place
Tonight

(Fade Music)
