When Scripture becomes Sacrament

For many people who have been the church for a long time there are certain prayers and hymns and rituals that are especially meaningful. Hearing someone sing “Amazing Grace” on the radio can bring our spirits back right back into worship. Saying the Lord’s Prayer around a hospital bed can be a sacramental moment.

This Sunday’s text is the basis for the Lord’s Prayer. (Luke 11’s version) Just reciting the prayer at different times can bring us peace. In this way it is sacramental – it mediates the presence of God to us. Or we can breeze through it as fast and unthinking as we can and it becomes meaningless muttering. This week we’ll look more closely at the prayer and see if we can hear it with new ears.

Also: Vacation Bible School – Baoabab Blast will have its celebration and program. Come and hear the kids sing God’s praise!
