Calendar As Participatory Memory
- The Israelite worship calendar functioned to yearly recall and physically participate in God's saving acts.
- Worship brings past salvations into the present so each generation relives God's deeds.
Worship Unites Past And Present
- Worship doesn't merely remember past events but makes believers participate in them here and now.
- God transfers past deeds of salvation into the present through Word and sacrament.
Participate, Don't Just Remember
- Participate actively in festival days rather than treating them as private remembrance.
- Join communal meals, offerings, and liturgy to enter fully into the commemorated event.
