‘Whoever you are,
and wherever you are on life’s journey
you are welcome here at Christ’s table.’*
You can bring your problems,
you can bring your doubts.
You can bring your body with its aches and pains,
its stretchmarks and scars.
You can come in your ‘Sunday best’
or your scruffiest scuffed-up sneakers.
You can come with a heart full of joy,
or a heart that’s heavy with sorrow.
This is the meal table
of the dysfunctional, beloved, family of God
and all are welcome here.
*A familiar greeting used in many churches
