What are "meal Communities?"
Smaller groups of people (10-20) that gather regularly like extended family. We hang out together, worship together, host parties together, and eat together. We watch each others’ kids and attend big events in each others’ lives. We talk about life, faith, doubts, and struggles. And we try really hard to love our neighbors.
An MC gathering might look a little different than what you’ve experienced as “church” in the past. We always eat together (bring a dish to share when you join us!). Often there will be a simple time of worship/reflection, a short word of encouragement from the scriptures, an open time of telling stories of where God is at work, and prayer together. It’s very participatory. Occasionally on some weeks, you might find us having a party together to connect with new friends and neighbors, or volunteering at a local homeless shelter or doing yard work for a shut-in. The goal is to be a community living out our mission to re-connect people to Jesus, to one another, and to God’s redemptive work in the world.
