Feasting
There's nothing like sitting at table with 30 other folks, digging into a mountain of mashed potatoes and vegetarian meatloaf and sharing about our lives, followed by some football on the big screen. And, of course, playing a little UNO and Yahtzee after the pumpkin pie.

Be grateful
So even in the midst of difficult times, especially in the midst of difficult times, we are called to stir up thankfulness, to choose gratitude. Afterall, when Jesus gave thanks before breaking the bread and sharing it with his friends, he was facing the hardest days of his life.
At The Supper, we practiced cultivating thankfulness in multiple ways, including writing notes of thanksgiving, as the folks in the above picture are doing, reflecting on where we do experience abundance, and considering areas of our life where we'd like to be more grateful.
I'm reminded of an old song that my school gospel choir sang: Be grateful.
