Table Fellowship: Prayer for Bread

Our Father in Heaven,
We draw near to You at this Table today with praise because you have called us out of the world, out of death, and out of enmity with Your Son, the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. Father, we sit down with You at this Fellowship Meal in Christ by faith, and we trust in Your mercy and rejoice in Your salvation. We thank You, Almighty Lord, for this bread, which has been broken in likeness of the crucified body of our Risen Lord. You alone have called us from the East and the West and the North and the South, and gathered here together we sing: Glory be to the Father; Glory be to the Son, Jesus Christ; and Glory be to the Holy Ghost. We lift our hearts and voices up to You, our Triune Lord, because you have dealt bountifully with us. Amen.
