dripping with blood
the fruit of His body
His love poured down
we eat of the sacrifice
we join with the saints
all who have gone before
eating of the Christ.

Box – a bolt, a nut, and a washer

alone
- we need all
three to hold things together strongly

like that – each of us has gifts
- named some of
the gifts of individuals – song, smile, faith, joy, encouragement, laughter,

washer … He washes us clean
- we need all of
us together
