Dining with Jesus
Jesus’ ministry was often lived out while in table relationships as he ate with all types of people (those inside the faith and those clearly on the margins). He did this while teaching, loving, and extending extravagant grace. By focusing on this aspect of Jesus’ ministry, this series will challenge us to learn from and live into a life that mirrors the relational aspects of Jesus’ loving example.

Prepare the table for Jesus
Whether you use your fanciest china or your daily dishes, Jesus is at your table and Floris is asking to borrow those place settings! Each place setting will be displayed as part of September’s four-week sermon series, Dining with Jesus, so your family will be able to see your table represented at church! Your participation is an opportunity to enhance our worship experience and help us reflect on Jesus’ presence with us.
Bring a single well packaged place setting to church during this series along with a list of what you have brought and your family’s name.
