Friday Lunches

This semester, Friday lunches have been very special for me, for two reasons: communion, and lunch.

I have a class from 9-12 on Fridays, with Dr. Packer, and that in itself is a treat, but after class we have a communion service in the small prayer chapel, and these services have been deeply meaningful to me. There's usually a small group of us, between 10 and 15, who pack that small room, read The Communion service from the Book of Common Prayer, and listen to a small homily (usually from Dr. Packer).

What I love about this time together is fellowshiping in a small group around a common liturgy and communion. There is something special about being a part of a small group of people that gathers together to worship our loving Father in heaven.

An added bonus (and in comparison to the communion sercive it really is just a bonus) is that after the service we all go out for lunch. We go to this super good chinese restaurant close to school, and yes, lunch is free. The Anglican Studies program pays for it. Amazing!

Is there anything better than fellowshiping with God and friends over a meal? I think not....
