In the Early Christian Church believers gathered often to worship and break bread. In fact, meals were regularly a part of their worship gatherings. The verses Acts 2:42 & 46 read,

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.....Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.

And we will have the opportunity to do just that when we gather on Sunday, March 7th for our Lent Communion Breakfast! I hope you can attend this fellowship and worship event. Here are the details:

Lenten Communion Breakfast: Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 9:00 AM in Brand Hall
Please sign up on the Kiosk by February 28 so sufficient food can be prepared or call the Church at 863-6764 and leave a message. Coffee cake, muffins or sweet breads would be appreciated to round out the eggs, bacon, fruit, coffee, tea and juice. There will be a donation basket on each table. Some of the donation money will help defray the cost of the eggs, bacon and juice. The rest of the money will go to One Great Hour of Sharing. The Church Goal is to send $200.00. This money will bring much-needed relief and joy to vulnerable children and adults by responding to disaster, alleviating poverty, fighting hunger, offering hospitality to immigrants and giving out school kits.
