From the Sermon:

Paul eard rumblings that things were not going well in _______________.


Paul starts out this section of the letter by saying essentially, “I have nothing good to up lift about how you are celebrating the _________________, because you are harming one another through it.”


The Corinthians need to __________ what this Supper is all about in the first place.


It is really hard to communally remember, if you are _______________.

Reflection Questions:

How do you remember communally, with other people?


How are memory and passing on the faith to future generations connected?




Prayer:

Lord, forgive us for the times we have not truly lived into the meaning of the gift of Holy Communion. Lead us to be people who share the story, not just with what we say, but in how we live. We pray this for the glory of your name. Amen.
