Description
Through word, water, bread and wine we proclaim the vision of what God intends and rehearse the practices of Christian life in worship and the world: showing up, paying attention, and honoring bodies. In and out of the sanctuary, where we put our bodies matters, for there we encounter the risen Christ.
