The Table as Sacred Space, a poem by Pastor Angie


At the table, where souls intertwine,

A sacred space, a peace meal divine.

Here, linen whispers slow and shalom,

Each thread an invitation, a story to unfold.


Placemats cradle meals with care,

Napkins soften burdens we bear.

The Melanated Musings design does sing,

Of abundance and joy that moments bring.


A table runner stretches wide,

Inviting love to sit beside.

A candle’s glow, soft and warm,

A beacon of calm amidst life’s storm.


This is more than a meal, you see,

It’s a SOULution, an offering for you and me.

To gather, to savor, to truly be—

Present in love and community.


With every bite, with every sip,

We honor the sacred in fellowship.

So set your table with soul and care,

For the divine fellowship offering that is always there.

Journal Prompt:


Sit with these questions - breathe + scribble without judgment:


Sacred Moments & Memories


  • What is your earliest memory of gathering at a table? How did that space feel to you?


  • Describe a meal that brought healing to your soul. What made that moment sacred?


Creating Your Sacred Space


  • How do you currently transform your table into a sacred space? Is it simply functional, or does it hold deeper meaning?


  • Imagine setting your table for your next gathering space, what feelings, elements, or experiences would you want to invite into that space that speaks peace to your spirit?


Soul Care Through Fellowship


  • Who needs a place of peace at your table right now?


  • How might intentionally creating sacred space change the way you experience daily meals?


Divine Connections


  • Where do you see God's presence in your gathering spaces?


  • How could your table become a place of ministry + healing for others?


In the quiet of this moment, write a prayer of dedication for your table space. Consider how you might transform everyday meals into sacred moments of fellowship, healing, and grace.


Remember: Every table can become an altar for a peace meal, every meal a moment of divine fellowship.



Until next time,


Gift from your soul.
