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 Comments are closed.
