St. Luke Radiant Sanctuary Space at Home
Before worship starts, each household is encouraged to:
- Light a candle (be your own acolyte!). Or, light a lamp.
- Open your Bible (a Bible app on your phone is fine) and today's readings.
- Prepare a place at a table (coffee table or desk is fine). Do you have a flower you can put in a vase? a cross? Liturgical decorations for "ordinary time," also known as the "green season" of growing and deepening faith?
- For the Sacrament of Holy Communion: Prepare a plate with one slice, piece, or loaf of bread to be broken and shared, and enough cups of wine (red, rose or white are all fine) or grape juice for each participant. Cover everything with a clean cloth or napkin.
