A Dinner Church Order of Worship or Liturgy

9/19/2018

 
If you were to visit Potluck Church, you might witness something like this:
 
Greeting
[We welcome folks by name and invite them to get a drink.]
 
Light the Christ Candle 
[We ask for a volunteer light the Christ Candle, and we say, “We light this candle to remind us that Christ is with us in this very room.”]
 
Prayer
[We invite someone to pray for the meal.]
 
Fill Plates and Eat
[First-time guests are invited (and sometimes cajoled) to go first.]
 
Announcements and Birthdays
[When we have no desserts on hand, sometimes the birthday candle gets lodged in a fried chicken wing.]
 
Introduction Question
[We ask, “Where did you experience God since we last gathered?”]
 
Introduce Topic or Theme for Discussion
 
Read and Discuss Scripture and/or other materials
 
Prayer
[We ask: “What is your prayer?” Prayer joys and concerns are shared, and then a volunteer offers a prayer for all that has been shared.]
 
Preparation for the Breaking of Bread/Communion Meditation 
 
Breaking Bread (Communion)
[We explain that we’ll rip off a piece of the bread, dip it in the cup, and then serve your neighbor. ]
        Words of Institution
        Sharing of the Bread and Cup
        [Either a volunteer serves as a deacon serving each person around the table, or we simply pass    
​         the plate and cup, serving our neighbor around the table.]
 
Benediction 
 
Clean-up

    Set a table, invite Christ and others, leave an empty chair, serve up some powerful questions, and break bread.
