Food for the good of the soul

This is the body of Christ,
broken that we may be whole;
This cup, as promised by God,
true to his word, cradles our Lord:
food for the good of the soul
This song by John Bell rolls around my head on a frequent basis - and that is a good thing. I know it so well, and the melody, that I can get "past the words" and go to a deeper place. That, of course, is one of the whole reasons for contemplative Taize style music. To get past the words - not to ignore them, but allow them to sink deeper and deeper into your being.
Food for the good of the soul indeed.
This Sunday will we be beginning a new season of DNSS. Our first topic is Communion, The Lord's Supper, the Eucharist, the Love Feast, and all the other names it might be known by.
Come and join us at 9:00. Please bring your Bible.
