In praise of feasting

Feasting is a communal celebration. Using Deuteronomy 26:1-11 as his text, Pastor Phil Kniss outlined how Jewish feasts - there are many of them - underscored how dependent the people were on God's goodness and on each other in community. As Americans and as Mennonites, we are feast-impaired. Pastor Phil called us to develop that sense of celebration in our lives, and the congregation then celebrated communion as a first step.
