November 5, 2017 NewDay Praise Worship - 9:50 a.m.
Banquet of Love
Luke 22:14-20 Rev. Elizabeth Gilbert What elements make for a memorable meal? A beautiful table scape? Exotic, specially prepared food like you might find in a celebrity chef’s restaurant? Maybe you prefer a home-cooked meal like grandma used to make. Maybe its not about the food at all. For you it might be all about who is at the table with you. Jesus spent a lot of time eating meals with people. Meals feature so prominently in the Gospels that scholars have commented: ‘Jesus ate his way through the Gospels.’ He ate with the rich and the poor, the ‘in’ crowd and the outcasts, the powerful and the powerless. Regardless the setting, the guest list, or the price point, the acceptance, love, and grace of God was always on the menu. Jesus’ legacy of love at the table is still with us today at the Communion Table. Pull up a chair and “...taste and see that the Lord is good...” (Psalm 34:8)
Today’s Scripture The Institution of the Lord’s Supper When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

Once returned and sorted, these gifts are delivered to the children There are many opportunities to be involved with this mission: Choose a name and buy a gift. In the main lobby in the coming weeks (Nov. 19 & 26 and Dec 3) pick a name off of the Angel tree and purchase a gift using the info on the angel. Wrap the gift in a box. Return the single, wrapped item to PUMC by noon December 10. Bake Cookies. Two and one-half dozen homemade cookies are delivered to each Angel Tree home.
