Place an open bible at the center of your group. Place beside it a lighted candle and a loaf of sweet-tasting bread for breaking and sharing at the end of your session.
LEADER: Jesus, like your disciples on the way to Emmaus —
ALL: We recognize you in the breaking of bread.
LEADER: Like your disciples gathered in Jerusalem —
ALL: We welcome you into our midst as our guest.
LEADER: Open our minds to the scriptures —
ALL: That we might remember and live your words in our world.
