Breaking Bread

I work for and serve a church in NYC. There are several parishes that are a part of this church.  I work for the Westside parish and I am a part of the Washington Heights parish. Each parish has its own pastor and staff. They typically speak on the same thing each week or follow the same teaching series. The Washington Heights parish is new enough that the messages haven't been the same but this Sunday they were. We had the lead/founding pastor teach at WH.

This week I got to hear the same message but from two different people. Each one adding in their own personality. The message was on Jesus and food. More specifically the role of food in the relationships Jesus had while on earth. It was basically about how we should share more meals with people. Great stuff! It's something that the heights community has been doing for a while. More recently it's been much more intentional but it's been something we've been doing for a while. 

On Saturday night, when the WH church meets, my roommate and I had a last minute invite to dinner because of that talk. We had almost made it home when we got the invite. It was a great evening that caused lots of laughter and smiles.
