From the Moderator, Lisa Fike

For Brethren our Holy reenactment of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, or Love Feast, has been a wonderful tradition. It provides a reminder of the relationship that we have with each other and with Christ. Historically Brethren from neighboring congregations would gather to prepare and celebrate the Love Feast. I live in the Northwestern section of our district and at least a couple of our churches have the sleeping rooms above their sanctuary. These rooms were constructed so they could host the several day love feast celebrations.

It is with that tradition along with a contemporary desire to be “joined with me and I with you” that our Friday evening worship at district conference 2011 will be Love feast. We will include the agape meal, feet washing and communion. We hope that you will make plans to be a part of this very special evening as we celebrate our unity as Brethren and members of the Body of Christ.
