Our prayer for this week is here: Blessed Be Our Table, by Neil Paynter (p 247)
- God, you have given us all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit.
- O, taste and see that the Lord is good.
- You have given us, your word and law, sweeter than honey, sweeter than honey dripping from the comb
- O, taste and see that the Lord is good.
- You have given us manna in the wilderness of our wandering and daily bread to sustain
- O, taste and see that the Lord is good.
- For all you have given us, generous, loving God, we praise you. Amen.
