Today, as we gather around the theme Communion of Grace, we pause to remember that grace is not earned, but given. It meets us in Christ’s presence and in one another. Let us open our hearts to receive the gift of grace.
Pause
Take a deep breath and let this be a sacred pause—space for you and God alone. Let go of the need to get it ‘right.’ Your only task is to show up honestly. Let your heart speak in the language it knows best—words, movement, color, sound, or stillness.
Seek God’s Word
Lectio Divina on John 1:14,16; Hebrews 4:16
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Seek God’s Grace
In light of all that is going on in and around you, take some time to ask God for a one-word grace you need today. For instance, I seek the grace of courage.
Sit with that word for a few moments
Seek God’s Direction
Ask God to show you how to live out this grace in the coming days.
Seek God’s Table
Grace is not something we earn or strive for. Grace is gift. Communion is the table where Christ’s gift is given again and again—not because we deserve it, but because we are beloved.
Seek God’s Blessing
God of all grace, we thank You for meeting us at this table, for feeding us with the bread of life and the cup of blessing.
May the grace we have received today be the grace we embody tomorrow.
Send us forth as bearers of Your love—confident in Your presence, strengthened by Your Spirit, and rooted in the gift of Christ’s grace.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
