Happy Easter
We had family and friends around Good Friday for an Easter celebration of sorts. Not very formal, eating and drinking mostly with the focus on socialization. I was a little concerned about how some of these people would get on as they were from vastly different backgrounds and economic states. What happened was great. Unlike church Easter events I have been involved in in the past where every interaction is contrived and people are labeled “churched” or “non churched” and socialization is all based around the Christian looking for a way to get God into the conversation, here we were a group of people who were choosing to spend time with one another. It was all quite natural. My uncle, a professing atheist listened as Matt shared scripture and even took part in the breaking of bread.He even went as far as to take the scriptures home to read later as he had difficulty hearing Matt. New friendships were formed without Matt and I needing to do anything. It is what I have come to understand church is really about. No need for fuss or hype or long drawn out sermons just people, love, food and the word of God.
