Let's "Do" Lunch with Jesus

Sharing a meal is something intimate, conversational, relaxing,enjoyable, and community building.

Here are two, very similar messages  on being nintentionally inclusive about sharing meals, inclusive of Jesus and of others.

 

When I think about church, I think about the sentiments in this song.

And true enough, for the last several plus years, thinking and rethinking church has been on my agenda.

It is not to recreate as much as to rediscover whatwas and what was intended.

When church and p;ace intersect, I am singing these words.

A People Place by William J. Crocker, sung by Ken Medema, describing what the church ought to be and sometimes is not ...

"If this is not a place where tears are understood,
Where do I go to cry?
If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing,
Where do I go to fly?
If this is not a place where my questions can be asked,
Where do I go to seek?
If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard,
Where do I go to speak?
If this is not a place where you’ll accept me as I am,
Where can I go to be?
If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow,
Where can I be just me? "
