Pay attention

God, may we not be so concerned with our own needs that we fail to see the needs of others—in our neighborhood, in our church, in our school, even in our family. Thank you for fulfilling our needs with this food. Amen.

Singing Grace

Can be sung to the tune of "Twinkle, twinkle little star"

God of love and God of grace,
now we come to you in praise
thanking you for all you give:
family, friends, and food to live.
Bless this meal and help us be
folks who serve you faithfully.

Unending Grace

Everlasting God,
Like the waves of an ocean your love never stops. Day after day your blessings wash over us, enriching our lives. Thank you for this meal. May we live each day in worship of you. Amen.

Sensing Grace

Dear God,
For eyes to see, ears to hear,
for mouths to speak and chew,
for this food and all your gifts
we give our thanks to you.
Amen.

Incomparable Grace

Merciful God,
This grace we offer in thanks for our meal can not compare to the grace with which you forgive us so freely and lovingly. Accept our thanks for your grace and for this food. Amen.

Abundant grace

Gracious God,
Fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese,
meat and sweet desserts that please,
all the foods that help us grow
come to us from you, we know.
So we thank you, and we pray
that we'll serve you every day.

Amen.

Guiding grace

We pray, O God, you'll bless this meal.
And bless us, too, so we may feel
your holy presence at our side.
Throughout our life, Lord, be our guide.

Amen.

We thank you for the good things, Lord,
that come from you above.
Please bless this food, and help us learn
to live a life of love.
Amen.

Reaping Grace

Almighty God,
You have fed us with the harvest of the fields and nourished us with the fruit of the land. May we not forget to feed our minds by reading your Word and spending time with you. Amen.
