Citizenship Suppers
Just got back from being with a bunch of Foothillians tonight. We were out, as we do every 6-8 weeks at our local council, Knox City Council preparing a supper for those who have just been through their Citizenship Ceremoney. A small team of us work for a couple of hours preparing the food, just to see it disappear in minutes. Its a fun thing we have been doing the past 3 years or so, and gives us a very practical way to serve those who are new to our community. Some of the stories are quite horrific, listening to tradgedy and loss, for others stories are full of hope and new starts. But for the 250 people we fed tonight it all comes down to sharing food and drink together, the essence of shared life, and what better way to do it than with a party pie and sauce.I was reflecting the other day that so much of what we do revolves around food and was reminded of the words I was given many years ago, 'who we eat with tells us alot about our discipleship'. Jesus often got into trouble for eating and drinking with the "wrong" people, when was the last time you were looked down on for eating with the wrong crowd?
