Tomorrow we'll have an evening to conclude our summer series where, as church family, we've interacted with Tim Chester's book A meal with Jesus.

Meals have always been important across societies and cultures. Meals are also deeply theological - an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. Luke's Gospel is full of stories of Jesus at meals. And these meals enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation and promise.

Nowadays is traditional to have a BBQ,
so we decided to invite @ our home some new friends alongside church family.
