We had a pot luck supper at church last night and it was great. There was everything from fried chicken to spaghetti casseroles. It is amazing that you can bring thirty or forty people together and get such a variety of food.
We used to try to get people to sign up so that we could ensure a balance of main dishes and desserts but recently we have had more fun just letting it happen. Last night it worked out perfectly. We had so much food that it seemed the loaves and fishes miracle was happening all over again.
It got me thinking about church life in general. Each of us in the church have God given gifts and talents that we bring to the table when we are part of the ministry. We are all different. Some people think that is bad. I think God planned it that way so we can have a smorgasboard of talent as we seek to reach out and feed a community that is starved for love and mercy, justice and grace.
So come to the table and bring what you have. Offer it to God and He will bless it and use it to do His will.
