This past Sunday I attended a Christian Church service different from all others. Reminding me of the Kinfolk Manifesto or JPBC's home groups more than anything else, here people attempt to get to the heart of community. A group of artists uses a wonderful warehouse space to hold a meal each Sunday night and a small service afterwards. When I arrived I met people with a hug and warm handshakes, was escorted to a banquet table of barley and vegetable soup, vietnamese noodles, chili and rice, salad, and bruchetta. Small children played with a basket of toys on cushions on the floor while we sang, prayed, and talked with each other. I look forward to adding this on to my normal Sunday service. (Afterwards some new friends and I went to Syrup in downtown LA and had sweetened tea with large straws to suck up the fruit in the bottom and many different kinds of deserts).
