As our week of prayer comes to an end, we want to celebrate together and demonstrate what it means to be a people who belong.
Jesus spent much of his time sharing a meal with people from all walks of life.
Lk 19: 1-10 Jesus invited himself to Zacchaeus’ house, a tax collector
Lk 10: 38-42 A woman named Martha opened her home to Jesus
Lk 7: 36-50 A Pharisee invited Jesus to have dinner with him
There are many more stories in gospels like this.
Sharing meals creates a space for people to feel loved and accepted, heard and connected. We can encounter God and one another and demonstrate hospitality in a tangible way.
As we begin our journey together, creating a community of people who belong, let’s celebrate the end of our prayer journey around a table and share a meal together.
