There are people who attend Crawford with backgrounds in many different Christian traditions as well as those with little to no church background at all. That means there are many understandings of what it means to share the bread and cup as we celebrate Holy Communion. What is it, exactly, that we think we’re doing during that time? Since this is a Communion Sunday, it seemed like a good time to lift up this question from the list of issues you have submitted.
My response is that trying to think it through is probably not helpful. There is more to be gained by living it.

This is one of those questions where we aren’t in a position to know the actual answer, but there are several opinions. Join us on Sunday morning to hear what they are and see what you think.

Is there something wrong or shameful about being a skeptical, questioning Christian? I would love to have a church filled to overflowing with skeptical, questioning Christians.

When Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb on Easter morning, John’s gospel tells us that it was still dark. The Resurrection happened in the night. Even as the disciples grieved, the promise had been fulfilled. But it took Mary’s courage to go out in the dark for a joyous dawn to come for everyone. Be like Mary.

As Jesus rode into Jerusalem for the last time, his disciples thronged around him, cheering him on. When religious leaders told him to calm his followers, Jesus told them that if the people were silent, the very rocks beneath their feet would cry out in their place. What about today? Are there times when we fall silent and leave it to the stones to speak out?

We finish the Fruit of the Spirit series with the one fruit to rule them all–the fruit with which Paul begins his list in Galatians 5. Love. It’s the vine from which all the other fruit springs.
