“…breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” – Acts 2:46-47
Come celebrate and share how Christ has loved you!
The deepest fellowship of believers is expressed in the Greek with the beautiful word koinonia. Read more about the meaning of koinonia on the home page of our website. We are planning the Agape Feasts to emulate the examples of the early church where they came together for fellowship, prayer, to share food with glad and generous hearts, to celebrate their unity in Christ, and to anticipate His return. The Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
We believe God will use our love for Him and our love for one another to draw more to Jesus. Love is powerful and we are not capable of loving apart from Christ.
We are planning an evening of encouragement and reflection that you do not want to miss!!
Here’s what to expect….
Sign up your family to attend an Agape feast on April 9, 2016. We will randomly mix all the families and email you where to go a day or so before the event. Each home will be a small gathering of 3-4 families so that no one feels lost in a crowd.
Start praying now of how you wish to contribute to the evening. We will expect everyone to contribute in some way so that we can experience how beautiful it is when every person of the body of Christ contributes. Please come prepared for every member of your family to be involved in some way.
Ideas of how you contribute:
read a favorite scripture
share something God is teaching you
sing a song or play a song on an instrument
make a small token of love to give to the other attendees
write a poem to share
read an excerpt from your prayer journal
play a song off your phone that has ministered to your heart
tell a fun story of when God stretched you to do something you could have never done without Him
show a video clip that God used to challenge you
bring an item for “show and tell” that brings your thoughts to Christ
pray during the share time
share a God story/God moment where you saw Him work or experienced Him in a special way
Examples: an act of His provision, a way He spoke to you, a moment when you knew “that’s God!”
On the night of the agape feast, bring a dish to share or a couple of dishes if you wish. You can bring an appetizer, salad, side, meat or dessert. Pray and bring what the Lord leads, prepared with love.
Arrive at the host home you are assigned to by 6pm. Enjoy the fellowship as you make new friends and celebrate our best friend, Jesus. Remind your children to respect the home and to participate in the evening festivities. Talk to each other and include one another. Enjoy the meal together. Laugh. Delight in who Jesus is and the importance He plays in your life.
