Singing at the Table

You've heard it said: "No singing at the dinner table!" But Beth Quick is here to tell you, "Sing for your (Lord's) supper!" Do you seek to blend tradition and innovation at the communion table? Are you searching for communion liturgies that resonate both with "old-timers" and those who are new to following Jesus? Are you looking for a way to celebrate communion that's appropriate for the most formal worship service, and finds a home as you celebrate communion at summer camp around the fire? Using the resources from Singing at the Table in your worship setting can help people fall in love with celebrating the sacrament. Singing at the Table is a collection of 36 sung communion liturgies and reflections on the meaning and practice of the sacrament of holy communion. The selections use familiar hymns and tunes as the foundation for a contemporary communion liturgy. The collection of liturgies is organized based on the Christian year, starting with Advent liturgies and ending with a liturgy for Christ the King/Reign of Christ Sunday. There are also sung liturgies for special occasions like baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Between the liturgies, author Beth Quick includes several short reflections related to holy communion. Some focus on how she came to write a particular liturgy. Some relate funny stories from her years of serving communion in pastoral ministry. Other offer insights about how her communion theology was formed. These essays could be used for personal reflections and devotional reading, or in group settings, as a centering moment for a worship team gathering, or a discussion piece for a Sunday School or confirmation class.
