*Call to Worship
One: Jesus so often met people
Many: gathered ‘round a table.
One: He met Matthew and Zacchaeus and Simon and Peter,
Many: gathered ‘round a table.
One: He met Lazarus, Martha and Mary, Joanna and Susannah,
Many: gathered ‘round a table.
One: He could see people face to face, listen to their stories, share their laughter
Many: gathered ‘round a table.
One: And here we are now, where Jesus has promised to meet us,
Many: gathered ‘round a table.

*Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
