We hope you'll join us for this contemplative Communion service at 8:30am in the Great Hall. It is not necessary to RSVP for this service.

Radical Hospitality: Preparing a Table

The image of preparing a table, or preparing a place, is a good overall image for hospitality. In genuine hospitality we work to make our entire existence a welcoming table, a place prepared for others to be at ease, to receive from us comfort and strength. The feeding of the 5000 is told in all four Gospels. What can we learn from this story of radical hospitality, the multiplication of bread and fish, of the invitation to all to share in Jesus’ abundance, as we draw near to God’s Table to share in communion?
