Soul (simpli)City Sundays

  • Sometimes it’s the Simplest Things…

Food Church

This past Sunday our Soul City Sunday Agenda was fairly simple:

  • Connect
  • Make Pizza
  • Connect
  • Eat Pizza
  • Connect
  • Pray
  • Play Monopoly (Jeanne won, but almost lost her faith and friends in the process!)

In the midst of all the Dreaming, Praying, Planning, Team Building, Fund Raising, Location Scouting, and Blogging, we figured that the best thing we could to do together was…EAT.         This simple idea is more than merely a human impulse, it is something Divine.

Again and again, throughout the pages of scripture we see FOOD.  From the Feasts of the Old Testament, to the Feeding of the 5000, to the Last Supper, to the Shared Meals of the first church, to the Great Wedding Banquet – food plays a prevalent role in the pages of scripture and has a profound affect in the story of our lives.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things, like good food shared together that can help us experience life as rich and full as God intended it.  We experienced this first hand (and mouth) this past week at Soul City Sunday.  And if I have anything to do with it…we’ll be experiencing it again Very Soon!

//What are some of the ways you’ve shared Intentional Meals with others?  Was it a “Church” thing, friend thing, or a neighborhood thing?  Why don’t we do this more?//
