Yesterday was an interesting one at SRC. This weekend we held our first Fast/Feast. The idea came from a friend, and I explained that yesterday. The result was not dramatic in the present. It's an interesting thing about fasting. There are times when things happen in the present, but more often, I think things are changed in the future because of it.
Yesterday we had perhaps the lowest attendance in church history. Several families I know were traveling. Others were just away. I wondered if some people stayed away because they didn't fast. Not sure I'll ever know. I hope not. That wasn't the point.
After church we held the feast at my house, and I really enjoyed hanging out together. It is a neat experience to break a fast together as a group. It's a sacred time, even amongst the love and jokes of friendship.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
