Brahm's Grace #3

For many of us future pastors, we will be constantly called to lead grace at a church gathering. I wrote this in mind of one of the many church potlucks/meals that are in my future.

God who gathers us,
we give thanks for this chance to come together,
to share in Your good creation
and to share in conversation.
You call us into community,
to be good neighbors,
and we remember those who are not with us.
Bless all of your creation,
that all the world might be blessed, clothed, and fed.
In Your name we pray,
Amen.

As we are gathered together into community, we remember who is not gathered with us.
We petition God for ourselves and for those not with us.
And we pray that God blesses all of the world; all of God's creation.
