Bread for the Body, Food for the Soul

Soup and Reflective Readings – Spring and Summer 2012   

Wednesday at 12:15 p.m.

Bread for the Body, Food for the Soul is a weekly gathering of people who come together to explore their faith and worship in a more intimate and personal setting.

At first glance, Bread for the Body, Food for the Soul looks like a fancy name for a luncheon. But it is much more than that.

Each week we gather in the church at 12:15 pm to celebrate a table Eucharist together and break bread over a filling soup lunch. During lunch, we have the opportunity to meet new people or catch up with some of our friends from the community.

While we wrap up the lunch, we continue the table conversation with a spiritual reflection on a given theme. The topics vary from week to week but the aim is to examine how our faith interrelates with modern culture and can be lived out in today’s society—challenging us to understand our faith as a way of life, not just a Sunday practice.

We try to wrap up with a final prayer by 1:15 pm.
Everyone is welcome. Come and break bread with us, and continue to explore your faith throughout the week!
