3 Hymn 466 Jesus, at Your Holy Table BEACH SPRING Offertory Prayer Mark Hensley Offertory God s Time Is Best J. S. Bach Doxology Congregation Glory to God, whose goodness shines on me, And to the Son, whose grace has pardoned me, And to the Spirit, whose love has set me free, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, Amen. World without end, without end, Amen. World without end, without end, Amen. World without end, without end, Amen. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, Amen. Gospel Reading Mark 6:30-34, Rev. Meadows Pew Bible page 1193 Anthem Room at the Table Chancel Choir David Lantz III There is room at the table, a place at the feast. There is room for each burden you long to release. Every heartache you carry, each private despair; Bring them all to the table, surrender them there. There is room for the bread that is broken in two. It is offered for all that is broken in you. Simply take it and eat it, and hunger no more. You must only accept it; be fully restored. There is room for the cup that is filled with the wine. It is offered for you at this table of mine. Come be filled with remembrance of My sacrifice. All your emptiness ended, your thirst satisfied. There is room at the table, so come take your place. Taste the bread of forgiveness, the cup of My grace. Not a meal for the body; a feast for the soul. O come to the table and you will leave it whole.
