Our Communion Table

Front and center in our sanctuary stands a beautiful communion table constructed of an old door and an oxen’s yoke.  The door, which is a biblical symbol of communication and communion with the Divine, makes up the table’s surface; and the oxen’s yoke, which is a biblical symbol of service, makes up the table’s legs.  It could be said that we are nourished by communion at the table for service (with our legs) in the world.  The yoke also reminds us of the scripture, “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30). IMG_1782
