Everyday Sacraments
Sacraments are often seen as something special, something out of the ordinary, set apart for particular moments in time. What if the sacraments – the mystery – the holy – were available every day? How might we cultivate the ability to feel wonder and to know our deep connection each and every day? Let’s explore the possibility of everyday sacraments together.

April Worship Theme: Sacrament
The traditional definition of sacrament is an outward, visible sign of an invisible reality of good and grace. Our Protestant ancestors understood baptism and communion to be sacraments. But what would life look like if sacrament was more than a sign but an invitation to live the reality of good and grace into existence? The mystic poet Rumi writes, “I stood before a silkworm one day. And that night my heart said to me: ‘I can do things like that, I can spin skies, I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people; I can be soft against a crying face…So we began and will never cease.” This month we ask, how can our lives become sacraments? What does it mean to live invisible truth into being?
