Food Service Industry
Father in Heaven,
Thank you for Your hospitality,
For creating a place of beauty and order
A place where we experience goodness and joy
Thank you for Your daughters and sons
Whose work is hospitality:
Baristas and bartenders, bakers and bussers,
Hosts and chefs, sommeliers and servers.
Reframe our perspective
On those whose work is service.
May we see welcoming and serving the stranger as sacred.
Provide for those who make meals.
May our neighbors who serve us at tables,
Have enough at tables of their own.
May every meal we share,
And every glass we raise,
Be a reminder of Your table that awaits us,
And celebrate Your goodness here and now.
May we receive hospitality,
And give hospitality,
As a taste of Your Kingdom to come.
Amen.
