LOVE FEAST pics

Here are a few pictures from this past Sunday’s Elevate. The student ministry celebrated our first ever Love Feast as a culmination of our series Wii Fit: 40 Days of Community. In the Early Church fellowship meals were a common practice, in fact Christ himself met around the table to celebrate and remember. The Love Feast in the Early Church would be a gathering of the people for a common meal and after eating they would worship through preaching. They would also celebrate and remember the death and resurrection of Jesus through communion, the Lord’s Supper. As a student ministry we enjoyed the fellowship of the feast, celebrated the life we have in Christ as we remembered the sacrifice of Christ for our sin and then had the opportunity to worship through communion.

Everyone just hanging out before the festivities...

Let the feasting begin...

Worship...

ELEVATE: Sunday Nvoember 16

What is a LOVE FEAST?

The ‘Love Feast’ dates back to the early days of the church. People would come together to worship and celebrate, but would do so in the form of a meal.

As we wrap up the end of 40 Days of Community, we want to celebrate by having our first ever Love Feast. We are asking ALL STUDENTS to bring a SIDE DISH and/or DESSERT. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just something you like to eat that you can share with everyone! We will all bring some food, spread it out, and then eat together as part of the night this Sunday (November 16, 2008).

The Student Ministry will be providing FRIED CHICKEN as the main dish!

Help us get the word out to everyone and make sure and don’t come alone! If you want, go to our Facebook group and let everyone know what you will be bringing and maybe some suggestions of what you hope other’s bring as well. See you at Elevate!
