Eucharistic Worship as a Great Cosmic Drama

The German theologian Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) described worship as a great cosmic drama.  In the Eucharist, which has been the central act of worship for the Christian community from the very beginning of the Church, God is author and director of the drama.  God has written us a script in two acts; we call the two acts the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Table.  God invites us not to be the audience, but to be the participants, the actors, in this great drama.  It is we who are invited to take our place at the Eucharistic Table as a foreshadowing of the Great Banquet Feast of the Lamb and our place at the Lord's Table forever.

Holy Eucharist is the most important thing we do together as a church family.  The Eucharist is a gift from God and the clearest and strongest way of telling that "old, old story."  It is the greatest story ever told, a story of cosmic proportions.
