Yep..... if they are not careful, they will end up being just like the first century church, that met together at least once a week to break bread.... the horror.....
Perhaps the real horror is comparing the first century church to the falling away. :rolleyes:

my church has coffee every week, donuts on occasion, but no sunday school....
we have small groups that meet at various times during the week instead...
But... do you have coffee and donuts? That is the cosmic question.

that coffee beans have to be roasted and ground to dust should alert you to where drinking them leads you, the toilet.

I believe only water should be allowed in the church sanctuary. Worship service is not a like a movie where you sit back and enjoy popcorn.

There is usually a reception area or another room where food/drinks may be allowed. I have no comment on what type of food, and I don't think the church providing/selling food at minimal cost is bad. I have been to a church where they offered potluck meals before an afternoon service (every week).

One of my home groups in AA was kind of sort of maybe like that. We had a budget of $50.00 a week to buy goodies to go with the coffee, starting with dozens and dozens of bagels accompanied by differently flavoured cream cheeses, and lots of fresh fruit, which we would cut up while belting out tunes along with an oldies goldies sixties' radio station. Well, that's how it was done while I was one of the volunteers... the meeting started at 10 am on Saturday morning, and I would pick up my fellow volunteer at 8 am to do the weekly shopping for these goodies. We did hope to snag the stragglers who came for the food and coffee, and it was a popular meeting besides all that, also, or possibly in part because of all that. We had approximately two hundred in attendance every week! And we did all enjoy the goodies...
quite benevolent to the community. so you have the bagels & cream cheese, now all you need is the lochs & onions!
