9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Fellowship is an important part of growing in faith. At our church and important component of that is Coffee Hour as I’m sure it is at many churches. For the next month, I am in charge of serving snacks for it. This is where I need your help. I need some recipe ideas. They should be easy, finger foods, quick to make and something that most people will enjoy, and also, for my pocketbook, not too expensive. Usually there are three or four items out so I welcome as many ideas as possible.
Putting on a good Coffee Hour has encouraged people to stay around after church to discuss the service and their lives. It has helped to make our church a community rather than a chore stop. It has certainly helped me to get to know others in our congregation better. It is hard to support each other in Christian ministry when you are not even sure what their first name is. You would be amazed what you can learn about people in just an hour a week.
We’ve had conversations in the church that putting on too much may seem overwhelming to some people and therefore it is difficult to get people to sign up, but from my perspective having only coffee greatly reduces the number of people that come and the time that they spend. So for now, I will continue to put on welcoming spread. With your help, hopefully it will be the best yet.
What recipe ideas do you have? What other activities does your church have for fellowship?
