It was a joy to celebrate Community Fridge Sunday at yesterday. Attendees filled the fridge with groceries, dedicated it with a responsive prayer after worship, and began the process of spreading the word to our neighbors.
With thanks to Amy Boles for her words and her hard work on this project over many months, here is our prayer:
One: Food belongs to everyone. All of God’s people deserve to be fed, and all people are God’s people. We open our hands...
All: ...that all may receive.
One: May this community fridge be an offering to the Randolph neighborhood and beyond. We open our hands...
All: ...that all may receive.
One: To cultivate ministers of reconciliation around the table of Jesus Christ, we join the residents of the surrounding streets in being loving neighbors for the sake of an equitable Richmond. We open our hands...
All: ...that all may receive.
One: We acknowledge and celebrate our differences. We delight in being, worshipping, and serving together. We open our hands...
All: ...that all may receive.
One: We celebrate God's sacred provision everywhere—from the communion table’s bread and wine to the shelves of this refrigerator. We open our hands...
All: ...that all may receive.
One: May Jesus the table host feed those who offer food and those who receive it, here and everywhere.
All: Amen.
