last night we had friends round for a meal and conversation. maundy thursday is a day particularly to remember jesus' meals with friends and to share bread and wine at the table. we chatted about the various meals and tables jesus had and was round. i invited people to complete a sentence that began 'this is a table...' and that then became a prayer of thanks as we read them out and shared bread and wine to remember
This is a table of new expectations
This is a table where everyone can come to receive
This is a table for those who haven't met Jesus before
This is a table with the Lord of the harvest and catch
This is a table where the host is often in the dependent position
This is a table where we are reconciled
This is a table where there is safety and acceptance
This is a table which welcomes, invites, provides, unites
This is a table where uncomfortable things happen
This is a table that was the natural place to be
This is a table that was the place to meet people
This is a table where strength is restored
This is a table, this is our community
