WORKSHOP TITLE:

Breaking Bread with the Lost and Lonely: Recovering the Spiritual Practice of Eating Together

WHEN:

Tuesday 17th October, Session 1: 12:00pm – 1:00pm

SPEAKER / PRESENTER:

Sam Lim

Lead Pastor of Flow Church Melbourne

DESCRIPTION:

Eating is of tremendous spiritual significance throughout Scripture – from Creation and Fall in Genesis to the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation. But in many churches, breaking bread has been reduced to mere symbolism and metaphor. And even where food might be a regular occurrence (e.g. pizza at Friday night youth), we often have a practice of eating together without a conscious theology supporting it.

Come and learn why an intentional practice of breaking bread should be included in our strategies for planting and sustaining churches, and why it is arguably as important as preaching, worship and prayer!
