“Few acts are more expressive of companionship than a shared meal…Someone with whom we share food is likely to be our friend, or well on the way to becoming one.”

“It’s good to be reminded that the table is a very ordinary place, a place so routine and everyday that it’s easily overlooked as a place of ministry…At its base, hospitality is about providing a space for God’s Spirit to move. Setting a table, cooking a meal, washing the dishes is the ministry of facilitation: providing a context in which people feel loved and welcome and where God’s Spirit can be at work in their lives…whatever it looks like, your own table is a sacred place.”
