“for Christ plays in ten thousand places.”
-Gerard Manly Hopkins
Oh, the faces that have gathered around this table. From Boston to Minnesota. To Seattle and now in Western PA.
The stories that have been shared in community. Slowly eating and drinking. Offering our brokeness and our gifts.
Gathered together. Sometimes with not much in common, except a desire to be known. To be seen.
Gathered together. To listen to a harmony I can’t quite manage to hear when I’m alone.
Gathered together, around this table. To say that I see Christ in you. When you can’t see Him yourself.
The radiant faces of Christ that have shone around this table. I remember them. Crossing years and geography. And through them all, I have been changed.
Come gather, the Trinity invites.
