How can we as a church, as a Christian community, create a space that invites others to join in? How can we show through our lives that all are invited to this banquet of God’s love — and that by emptying one’s self and opening up to God, our eyes are opened to see God’s actions all around us all of the time; our ears are opened to hear the needs of others and seek to answer those needs; and our hands are given the guidance they need to bring more to the table?
