“All had enough to eat . . . ” John

6:12

“St. Lydia’s is a Dinner Church. We gather every Sunday evening to cook and share a sacred meal, just as the first followers of Jesus did. We eat, explore scripture, offer prayers, and sing together.”

St. Lydia's is an experiment in what the Church might be when the meal we share is at the center of our common life. We're building this together—come and join us!

Matt. 26:26-28Mark 14:22-25Luke 22:17-201 Cor. 11:23-26

Benefit:The words “given for you” and “shed for you for the forgiveness of sins” show us that forgiveness of sins, life and salvation are given to us in this sacrament

Rev. Stephanie Spellers, The Crossing, Boston

How is such benefit given?The words “given for you” and “shed for you for the forgiveness of sins”, accompanied by the physical eating and drinking, are the essential thing in the sacrament

How do we receive the sacrament properly?By believing these words, “for you” etc.
