Big Idea: “The practice of Community” is the intentional discipline of actively building highly relational, joyfully connected kinship groups that eat and laugh and pray and worship and follow Jesus together as a family.
Application: We won’t find this kind of community by just going to church on Sunday. We have to find it in smaller circles. The best possible way to start is to gather a small group of people and begin to share a weekly meal.
The Table
-
Choose Your Place(s): Decide on the location(s) where you will host your dinners.
-
Set a Consistent Day and Time: Choose a specific day and time each week that works for everyone, ideally before each of the remaining sessions.
-
Organize a Potluck Style Meal: Have everyone sign up for specific elements (mains, desserts, drinks). Be mindful of any dietary restrictions in the group.
-
Encourage Contributions Beyond Food: Participants can also help with setting and cleaning up.
