Place a bit of grapevine or any other harvest symbols at the center of your group. Open a bible and light a candle nearby.
To prepare for reflecting on the gospel, identify together those in our society whom we call or label as last among us. Take turns naming such groups.
After each, pray:
ALL: The last shall be first.
LEADER: God of every hour, the first hour and the last, all-encompassing weaver of the cosmic web, help us to listen each other’s experience of you into words.
ALL: Help us welcome the grace of every person and age. Amen.
