First Dinner.
Instead of the Last Supper, I’m encouraging you to host “First Dinners.” Because Jesus said to keep doing this, so it wasn’t the last, it was the first of many.
And it wasn’t meant to be a religious ritual. It was meant to be a relational celebration of Jesus death that led to new life—for you, for me, for we.
So here’s a new way to think about it:
FREE
F: Find a rhythm
Monthly or weekly.
If weekly is realistic, do it weekly.
Hilary’s grandparents have hosted a family breakfast or dinner on Sundays for decades. Every Sunday. All the family. It’s a tradition, but it’s a party. It’s fun… Grandpa Jake’s food is amazing… and the people love each other.
We need more life-giving traditions in our lives. Good ones that ground us, center us and remind us that we’re loved.
Maybe you’re to play the role of Peter and John and start a new tradition of food, family/friends, and fun.
Find a rhythm that works. If weekly feel aggressive, start with the first week of the month and go monthly. Choose a day that works for the majority and start.
I’ll give you there next step tomorrow…
