" I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me." John 10:14
We live in such a digital world, which is simultaneously specifically tailored to our own preferences, and also a global monoculture. For 99.9% of us a woolly jumper is as close as we get to an actual sheep. Given that, what does it mean for Jesus to be the “Good Shepherd”? Is it not just irrelevant to our digital, urbanised, atomised lives?
How does Jesus overcome the algorithm to speak to our deepest needs?
Eucharist (aka communion or the Lord’s Supper). Music, prayer, Word, silence, communion. No matter if we are full or peace or chaotic, joyous or in despair, God can meet with us.
We eat a shared community meal on at 7pm on Communion Tuesdays, so don’t bring your own dinner. The spiritual bit happens from 8pm. Pay what you can afford, suggested donation $10, $15 if you would like a glass of wine.
