Beloved Child of God,
We gather at this table
with family, strangers, friends, and neighbors,
with prayer, Sacred Stories, songs, peace, and our gifts,
with joy, doubt, questions, wonder—
all of ourselves.
We gather to share this bread and wine.
We bless this bread
as Jesus did, spending one last night with friends—
eating, teaching, celebrating, remembering.
We break this bread
to remember
God with us, seen and unseen:
Creator creating and loving,
Jesus holding, healing,
praying, proclaiming, defying,
Holy Spirit dancing
in our midst.
We eat this bread
to hope for a holy moment of
harmony and unity
in the brokenness of our humanity.
We drink this wine
to share the Sacred Story,
to embrace holy mystery
