Last week, I bloggd about some of the most imaginative church leaders being in Australia and New Zealand. This mornings blog from Steve Taylor is a case in point. May God help us to make creative connections between our faith and our work.

A Workers Communion

As we move to communion, you will notice that it is being served on 3 working communion tables: a kitchen sink, a work bench and an office desk.
And so this table is not a Baptist table. It's a workers table. It's for anyone who wants to remember.
So come Holy Spirit,

Help us remember that God is a worker,

Help us remember that Jesus was a carpenter,

Help us remember that when the bread was broken,

When Jesus said "This is my body, Take, eat, do this in memory of me, This cup means a new covenant in my blood, whenever you drink it, all of you"
Help us to remember that this meal of memory, this first communion, did not happen on a special table with a white lacey tablecloth.
But it happened on a kitchen table in an everyday house,

So come let's eat and drink, in memory of God the worker, at work in our lives, and at our everyday worktables.
