Leader : Just before the soldiers took Jesus away, he had some kai with his besties.
Kids : It was a special meal – Passover – and everyone was
stoked.
All : But pretty soon, Jesus started to get real serious
Leader: It’s time for me to
die, he said
Kids:
One of you will betray me, he said
All: It’s not me, is it? They all asked
Leader: But Jesus changed the subject. He took a piece of the bread they were
eating, lifted it up and broke in half saying:
Kids: This is my body – it’s breaking
for you.
All: Eat this. Remember this.
Leader: He picked up the cup they were drinking
out of and said:
Kids: This is my blood – a promise
poured out for everyone
All: Drink
this. I’ll drink with you again in God’s
kingdom
Leader:
We’re
still eating and drinking like he told us too.
Still remembering;
Still looking forward to seeing him again;
Still being fed by him.
Real food.
Real drink.
Still looking forward to seeing him again;
Still being fed by him.
Real food.
Real drink.
This is a guest entry by my talented new colleague, the Rev Rory Grant. This week we are running the whole service as a communion liturgy. "Kai" is a Maori word meaning food.
