Many faith gatherings happen in the church and it may be before services or after services on Sunday. It may also be at other times throughout the week and on special occasions. Most of these events end up being pot luck dinners where everyone is invited to attend, sit together, and revel in the joy of their faith among friends. It is a beautiful thing. Coming together in this way. However, it does pose a complication. The church must have a table to feed all who are willing and able to attend these celebrations.
Sharing God’s Love Among Friends
Pot luck dinners at church serve as a way to strengthen the bonds that can hold a congregation together. However, it also serves to show them that God’s love is there, even when the pastor isn’t talking about Him. These dinners serve as a way to celebrate, rejoice, and come together in every way that matters at that moment. It would defeat the purpose if the church was unable to accommodate all who want to attend. This requires space and often custom made tables that are able to seat not only members, but non-members and of course, plenty of tasty treats.
Is Your Church Table Large Enough?
Your church table should be large enough to give each person there a comfortable space to sit. They will need elbow room. In some cases, you may need to have multiple large tables to accommodate everyone. Either way, a custom table may be something that you should consider before your next church event.
One fantastic idea is to create an epoxy river table or have one custom-built for your congregation. The reason for this is throughout the bible, there is mention of rivers in several areas. This will further strengthen the bonds that you are trying to create within the group and with your faith.
This is further proven by two verses. One, Ezekiel 47:9 states, “And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.” and Zechariah 14:8, “On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter.”
Can you think of any better way to ensure that Jesus and faith are present during your next church buffet?
Enjoy All You Have in Your Church and Life
Keeping Jesus alive and faith in our hearts is a big part of what churches do for us. The end result is that we should enjoy all that we have in our lives and in our church. This can most easily be done if we come together in celebration of the Lord and all that he provides to us. In Jerusalem, the river was important enough to be mentioned in the Bible. Shouldn’t it also be a part of your life? Your church? Your relationships?
