Setting the Table

11/30/2016

 
Meet in an accessible, welcoming place—a place that feels good to enter. If you have a table and chairs, that’s great! If not, spread a tablecloth or bed sheet like a picnic. Set a food and drink table to the side with salt and pepper, napkins, ice, and hand sanitizer.  Real plates, utensils, and glasses add to the “slow food” nature of the meal. Set a place for Christ with a paten (plate) of bread and a chalice (cup) of juice or wine at one seat. Place a candle (the light of Christ) in the middle of the table and matches or butane lighter at one seat. If copies of the Bible are available, set them on the table. If some table décor comes to mind to help set a theme or celebrate a season or holiday, place it on the center.
 
Above all, just make a place to worship. Don’t let the details become obstacles to getting started. Just do it!
 
Pray for the gathering that will be built in the room—the people that will come, the worship that will be made, and the communion with God that will take place.

    Set a table, invite Christ and others, leave an empty chair, serve up some powerful questions, and break bread.
