Thanksgiving Love Feast Recap

Post by Russ Parker, Pastor of Administration & Leadership Development

We at LBF sure know how to eat! The Thanksgiving Love Feast has been a long-standing tradition at LBF. It’s a time to gather as church family and eat, build friendships, eat, create memories, eat, and also to eat. And we certainly practiced thankfulness. We packed the place forcing us to get creative with our seating arrangements. It was encouraging to watch people open up their tables and squeeze people in. I saw one table with 12 people sitting at it. A normal table holds 8! It was a home group that loves each other so much they made it work! Others of you brought neighbors and friends who don’t even attend LBF. What a great introduction! Thanks for reaching out. Thanks for being a loving community. Here’s a fun group quiz we took during our Love Feast. It represents lots LBF has to be thankful for.
