LIFE TOGETHER
Gather & Eat
This week things are a little different. Gather together to decorate, set the table, maybe your community is cooking together, throwing things in the oven, peeling potatoes, and squeezing limes for the spicy mango margaritas that Kenzie is preparing.
Have fun.
Pray
Once the meal is ready, sit down together and have someone pray a blessing over your meal. It doesn’t have to be a long prayer - we don’t want the food to get cold after all.
Discuss + Connect + Share
As you eat feel free to chat freely and enjoy where the conversation goes. You can also use the following questions as prompts to intentionally get to know each other on a deeper level:
What is your earliest memory?
What is one thing that made you cry in the last year? (watching videos of dogs greeting veterans coming home doesn’t count - that makes all of us cry)
Can you think of the time you laughed the hardest in your entire life?
When you talk about hearing from God, or hearing his voice, what is that like for you? Describe what’s happening.
Pray
After dinner take some time to pray together as a large group. Offer up both thanksgivings and supplications.
