We are a church that likes to eat, whether we are serving up the food or enjoying it at a nearby restaurant! On Sunday, the youth of the church served some of the people in the area who are not able to able to provide food on their own tables. The number of those coming to SOME has risen to around 45 people this past Sunday. Economic times are hard throughout this land, let alone Henderson and Vance County. We are providing a much needed resource in our community.
Likewise, a good time was had by all at Dabney Dr. Restaurant on Sunday after worship. Kathy and I were able to share with those who gathered together many of the exciting projects going on around the church, including updating websites and newsletters, Thursday's new "Shout Out" to those who use computers, in which we inform the congregation of all that is going on in our church in the upcoming days. These lunch times with the pastor and staff will continue throughout the rest of my tenure at the church, so come and join us.
In reading the past blogs and newsletter, I find myself writing a great deal about food. This is O.K.! After all, we see Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast, we see a few loaves of bread and some fish become enough to feed 5,000 men, and an equal number of women and children, Jesus was made known to the two disciples running to Emmaus when he simply broke bread with his friends, and we have Passover and the Last Supper as a reminder of the presence of the Christ in our lives today, and the life to come!
Eat up! Christ is with us!
Peace,
Pastor Brett
