The table waits.
To welcome you.
To share its abundance.
To bring comfort.
To offer peace.
The table waits.
To hear stories offered.
To share in joy.
To calm a broken heart.
To celebrate the journeys taken.
The table waits.
To hear gratitude.
To join in songs of thankfulness.
To laugh out loud.
To shed tears of joy.
The table waits.
To remember the past.
To look forward in hope.
To dream of peace.
To long for God’s justice.
The table waits.
To sit with neighbors and strangers.
Friends and family.
Young and old.
Rich and poor.
All beloved.
The table waits for you.
The table is ready.
It always is.
Come and eat.
Come and be fed.
