I found this prayer about homecoming and thought it was beautiful.... Know that we are so excited to see you soon!! (I just heard the news from Erica that your flight has been delayed.... UGGG... so sorry! We are praying for patience, perspective and grace to abound...)
"Gentle Shepherd ... King of Love, we come to You as we are, not as we pretend to be. The truth is, God, that when we lift our heads above our path, we all too often discover ourselves lost in a maze of choices. We confess from the very beginning of this worship that we are lost... Were it not for You, O great seeker of our souls, patient parent to our childhood, joyful host to our homecoming; Were it not for You, O Lord, we would be lost forever. But, because of You, there is room for us at the great Love Feast. Gentle Shepherd ... King of Love, seek and find us as we are, not as we pretend. Be patient with us, and teach us how to wait. May the echoes of Your celebration reverberate in our midst this hour, transforming our worship from a mournful plea to a joyful song. Gentle Shepherd ... King of Love, lead us. Amen." http://www.myredeemerlives.com/prayers.html
And in light of the prayer above about us begin given room at the table for the feast, here are pictures from communion at small group on Sunday. Gotta love that the animals were all welcome. We sure are an inclusive bunch.
