Progressive supper anyone?



So, basically no-one here has ever heard of a "progressive supper" minus the pastor and his wife (fellow Canadians). Ok, maybe nobody at home has any idea either, except those of us who went to "youth" at church when we were younger (basically all the "cool" people. . . :-b) Yeah, I decided to ask people from church if they'd host part of the supper IN PERSON, and was pretty glad about that, considering some of the confused looks I got. "Kekkyoku" (in the end), it turned out to be great -- all I have to say is "praise God"! We had 11 kids, which is double how many usually come, and it was so exciting to see people from the church open up their homes (that isn't a very common practice here), kids bonding with one another and connections made from both sides. It's so easy, even in a small church, for programs to get disconnected from people who aren't directly involved. . . and this seemed to bridge that distance. We spent some time talking about food, and how there is more to life than just basic physical survival. Some of the most thoughtful comments came from the non-Christians in the group. Continue to pray we would all thirst after the Water that can truly satisfy us. :-)
