Community Group Soup!

If weekends are a great time to practice hospitality,

 then Mondays are a great time to blog about it ;-)

We host a Community Group on Sunday evenings.  Yesterday our group had a lot of fun making... soup!  Before you think I'm just totally crazy about soup I'll let you know it wasn't my idea!  The activity came from a book we're working through called the Tangible Kingdom Primer. 

I was just following directions :-)

Bliss's cabbage was the size of a bowling ball!

Anyway, everyone participated by bringing a few ingredients and then we got to work,

chopping, shredding, and peeling.  I must say we made a delicious Minestrone Soup

and had quite a few laughs doing so!

Scott chops while celebrity chefs Sarah and Robbie look on (well kind-of)

Jyoti is so proud of Jeremy!  He did a great job pouring!!

 

While we ate we talked about being a part of a community.  Just like a soup, there are many ingredients that go into making a community.  We listed some, such as, love, belonging, commonality, inclusive, security, and vulnerability.  I think the main ingredient from our Community Group Soup was FUN!
