Jesus’ face is solemn as he institutes the Lord’s Supper in preparation for his imminent arrest and crucifixion. We observe the eucharist to remember Christ in our community as we seek to unite with one another in the common goal of loving the world as Christ loves us. As we re-member ourselves to be one body, Christ enters into our midst to guide us in his ways. Whenever we observe this sacred ritual, may we remember Jesus and his mission and unite with him to remember the sick, hungry, imprisoned, dying, widow, orphan, and all who are oppressed.
