I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

FOOD

Sitting here watching the Mets trying to put away the Braves and I've been thinking how much food is a part of church life.

In my last post I talked about a breakfast and a pizza party and then I've been remembering that Sunday night we have our bi-monthly coffee and dessert evening for folks who are new to our church.

Man, this is a tough life - but someone has to do it!

It's interesting that all the main religious ceremonies in the Old Testament were Feasts and also that one of the ways the early church functioned was by eating together in one another's homes. I think we're on the right track - relationships are strengthened as we break bread.

But waistlines can be ruined!
