A Minister's Musings:  Throughout the Bible we find people sharing fellowship meals, for instance, from Abraham welcoming the Angels at the Oaks of Mamre to our resurrected Lord sharing breakfast with his disciples on the seashore. We eat together a lot at First Trinity Church, from the snacks served in the lounge after worship to meals following funerals.  Paraphrasing a line from the Movie "Field of Dreams," churches often say, "If you feed them, they will come," meaning serving food often increases attendance at meetings and events.  Our Ladies Aid is known for the culinary delights; the Men's Club has their annual Steak Bake in July and BBQ Chicken Dinner in August.  "Breaking bread together" is a great way to spend time with friends and welcome newcomers into our midst.  Of course, the most important meal of all is Our Lord's Supper (Holy Communion, Eucharist, Sacrament of the Altar) where Christ our host feeds us his very Body and Blood, as we recall his sacrifice for us and receive forgiveness for our sins with His presence there.  Bon appetit!

As always, please feel free to share these electronic Updates with whomever you wish.
