Late Renaissance Frisbee
We'll gather at the Wesley Cottage at 4 p.m. to carpool down to Harmon Field for Ultimate Frisbee at 4:30. This game can be played by young and old. If you think you're too young or too old, it will be a beautiful place to hang out by the Pacolet River for spiritual adventure and refreshing. Everyone can bring sandwiches and drinks to share. Bring a towel if you want to cool off in the river after play.
We will also have communion and talk about what it means, what happens in communion and why we take it. It is not so much our thoughts rising to Christ in heaven, as it is the Spirit brining Christ to us
One of John Wesley's colleagues wrote: "Now if it be demanded how so small a piece of bread, or a spoon fool of wine, can produce this effect [the presence of Christ]? …it proceeds not from the elements, but from the will and power of Christ, who ordained theses to be means and instruments for that end. They remain in substance what they were; but in relation to Him are more. It is spiritual bread and spiritual wine, …not so much because spiritually received, but because being so received, it causes us to receive the Spirit, and by the power of the Spirit…be enabled to do all things."
Mark 14:22-25
The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘Take; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Peace,
Rob
