My sister-in-law gave me a book recently called, "The Family Dinner," and I've been inspired anew to sit down as a family in the evenings and make dinners together a priority. The list of benefits is long, but at the very least, it's time for us to connect. As I was talking about it with the evening LIFT ladies last night, it occurred to me on a whole new level, the importance of our church family meal. For so many, this may be literally the one meal where they actually sit down, face to face with others, over a hot plate of food. Whether it's our youth who run in every week, or it's simply our busy, working families. This is ONE meal, each week, where we can sit, pause, connect, and eat some hot food.It's not the last time you'll hear us say it, but our Wednesday night family meal is a vital, vital ministry and you just have to experience it to fully understand. If you haven't, please join us!
Keeping the meal running is no simple task, however, and we could use a few more willing hands. Simply bringing in a dish, coming one hour early to put food out, or staying to clean up are small things that make it all possible. Please let Kris Lechien know if you can help at all; it's a worthy cause, I assure you!
