Hungry for God – And Good Food

Remember the first time you sat around the great table in the House of Peace?

Perhaps you were with friends or teammates, laughing and loving each other in both familiar and new ways. Perhaps you were alone, a stranger to the gathering, quietly taking it all in. Perhaps it was your first time in months eating something other than instant noodles in your dorm room.

You all found a place at the table where all are welcomed. Where our community finds nourishment both for our bodies and for our souls. We recognize Jesus in the breaking of the bread, and so too, we recognize Him in those gathered around the table with us. We find God in each other, in ourselves, and in the simplicity of sharing a meal. Around this table, we are all valued, all worthy, whether we come in celebration or in our brokenness. And all leave nourished for the journey ahead.

There are many tables at Mt. Irenaeus:

• Our dining room table provides community and nourishment for our bodies.
• Our spiritual table in the Chapel brings us into communion with God.
• Our garden provides access to nature’s table, the bounty of which brings us closer to the Earth and then to each other as we share the fruits of our labor back at the dining room table.
