ONE TABLE

Leader Guide

Jesus was all about sharing meals, and he did it in a counter-cultural way: eating with the wrong people and breaking the rules of sharing. How do we bring Jesus’ example of One Table living into our lives and neighborhoods?

Common Prayer

Oh Lord,
   we gather today around this table
   to remember what your Son taught us
   by how he shared meals:
      how to eat well together,
      how to welcome those who are different,
      how to give and to receive,
      how to value and build community,
      how to truly connect with others.

Help us to more fully enter into this new way of living.

We pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.
