Recently we met and shared a meal.  One of us had written this prayer. It seemed to sum up beautifully everything we were thinking, hoping and praying for.

Blessings on you who sit at this table.

Let us be at peace

May we know the love of Christ that surrounds us.

Breathe it in and let it wash over you.

Let this be a new beginning, a new start.

Let hope be rekindled and dreams renewed.

May Jesus inspire and challenge us for the journey ahead

Take this time together, may it inspire us on our travels

Knowing that we are loved and blessed.
