Communion “Pop-up Seminary” Weekend

As another aspect of RMC’s A Year at the Table, we had the pleasure of having Dr. Malinda Berry join us on February 15 and 16, providing input on our Mennonite theology of Communion, asking new questions for Communion practice, and helping create a robust and living theology of table as a local community. She also gave the sermon on Sunday morning.

Below are a few photos from the Saturday workshop and Sunday school and worship on Sunday morning.
