Nourishment for Body and Soul

Nourishment for Our Souls…

At Creator we participate in many communal activities.  One of the most important is the Eucharist. We call the meal the Eucharist because we eat and drink in a spirit of thanksgiving (Eucharist means “thanksgiving” in Greek). We are thankful and celebrate the Eucharist as an Easter Resurrection meal. Sunday after Sunday the risen Christ comes to us as God in flesh—hidden in the ordinary food and drink of this world.

And for Our Bodies…

We often share in fellowship and food. At our most recent pot luck, Katy Lanford made a delicious cake for us. She made the cake using a cookbook recipe that was submitted by Mrs. Harry McPeake.
