Around the table

Friday, November 4th, 2005
We placed the carpenter table in the middle of the sanctuary-church-worship hall-auditorium, two rows of chairs on either side of it… Several rows of chairs at the end of it. People (can) look at each other as they sing. They can see what’s going on in the other when there’s the prayer request. The singing’s better. The prayers are about the same, I guess. But the table… There’s been a marked improvement, even if it’s just for now, just because of the change. Visually now, Jesus is inviting us to his table to celebrate a meal that he’s prepared. And we all are sitting, perhaps too quietly, around his table amazed that we were invited to dine with him. There is no greater invitation than that which leads to life. There is no greater food than communion with Christ. There is no greater celebration of life than that which takes place around the table of Christ. Errr, except for the party we’ll have in the future when we will be like him… Thanks for stopping by.
