Choosing a Church
I have a theory about choosing a church! It’s firmly tongue-in-cheek, but with an element of truth! Yes, you need culturally relevant and uplifting spiritual worship! Yes, you need a challenging Bible message that relates the timeless truths to the reality of the world today! Yes, you need a warm welcome and true Christian fellowship! But, ultimately, it comes down to the quality of the after service refreshments!
When I visit a church and make my way to the refreshments, only to be confronted with Rich Tea biscuits and cheap coffee – my heart sinks! Digestive biscuits and decent instant coffee are a minimum requirement! Hobnobs are even better, chocolate hobnobs are a big improvement, and specialist biscuits from Marks and Spencer with real coffee is the height of church refreshments! I was pleased to share in a Sunday Eucharist at Leicester Cathedral this morning. The worship was good, the Bible message excellent, the fellowship warm, and the refreshments included chocolate digestive biscuits with fresh coffee! Well done Leicester Cathedral!
Note: Since I posted this a friend on Twitter pointed out some evidence for my theory!
