The Ministry of Food
Have you ever come away from church thinking "Wow... now that's how
church should be!". Tonight was one of those times. We met around tables.
We worshipped together. We prayed together. But best of all... we ate
together. Whist this was happening, we listened to some stories about
times when Jesus ministered to the people around him using food. The feeding
of the five thousand... the last supper... eating with sinners... the
time He cooked breaky for the disciples on the beach.
We were encouraged to think about how we might be more intentional about using food to reach out to the people around us. I for one would like to explore this further... not just because I like food... and not just because it is fun to entertain people. I really think there is something significant about sharing a meal with people.
The other great thing about tonight was that I got the chance to sit down and chat to some people from within the church that I did not know. It really was an Acts 2:42 experience... the way church oght to be.
