Opening Hymn VU 395 Come in, come in and sit down
Opening prayer
Stay with us, blessed stranger,
for the day is far spent,
and we haven't recognized your face in each of our brothers
and sisters.
Stay with us, blessed stranger,
for we haven't yet shared your bread in grace with our
sisters and brothers.
Stay with us blessed stranger,
for we have not yet understood your message
spoken in the words of strangers whom we meet.
Stay with us blessed stranger,
because the very night becomes day when you are there.
Hymn VU 225 We praise you for the sun

Jesus, you break bread, and we recognize you.
you are the fire that burns within us.
Use us, and our gifts, to enlighten the world.
