Dinners
“the primary focal practice of the human race is a meal”
Dinners are informal gatherings that give a bit more space for people from Redeemer Central to connect beyond Sundays. They have no agenda other than to get people together for connection. Good food, good conversation, and new relationships are our priorities.
When we look at the life of Jesus we see him frequently gathering around tables to share a meal with anyone he encountered. We also see him model to a table practice of radical inclusion, breaking bread with those who were so often excluded from the many exclusive tables set in the homes of the rich, powerful and privileged.
As people who follow Jesus we want to follow his example and open up our tables to one another and whoever would like to join us with the simple aim to provide a safe place for belonging, for community, for meaningful relationships and the sharing of normal life together. We do this knowing that each time we come together we experience encounter and are changed, never quite the same as when we arrived.
