There is something about gathering around tables that builds connections. Maybe it is because we are reminded that we are all human. Maybe it is because we are able to host and to be hosted. I’m not sure what it is exactly. What I do know is that tables are an important part of relationships.
Our world often wants to dictate who is allowed to gather around the table. People talk about wanting to have a seat at the table. I believe that our faith is constantly pointing to ways to extend the table. Ways to invite more people to the feast. Ways to convey that all are loved. All are welcome. God loves you and there is nothing you can do about it.
I pray that you can find a way to join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series “Come to the Table.” We will celebrate Communion together and gather at the table of love.
Peace,
Matthew
