Gracious
God, in love, You open wide the doors and welcome us into Your presence—

fare— a feast of love and mercy for the body and soul. We come with joy to meet
You here, to eat and drink at Your table, to taste and see Your goodness, to
celebrate Your grace and mercy in our lives. May Your Spirit inspire our praise
and thanksgiving, our prayers and petitions, as we worship together in Your
