The minister pronounces the invitation: to all who have given their lives to Jesus, come, celebrate His atonement through the elements here. Row by row, cracking pews and shuffling feet crescendos as people rise and slowly edge forward. Standing almost as animated statues, the servers preside up front, one with a plate of thin cracker crisps, the other with a round silver chalice. The people step forward, one at a time, reach into the pile of crisps, then next to the chalice. They hear the encouraging spoken lines "His body, broken for you" and "His blood, shed for you" as they quickly go by so as not to delay the line behind them. Do they ponder the physical elements they've just placed into their mouths? Does the touch of broken, crispy bread remind them of the broken, mangled body? Does the taste of cheap, sweet wine remind them of the streams of blood flowing down his arms, torso and legs? And what does that remembrance bring? Sorrow? Guilt? Relief? Indifference because it's too incomprehensible? As the music and the choir weave their lines throughout the sanctuary, they each enter their row and find their seats again, sitting down on the oak pews to ponder these things.
