The Feast

Like a good Baptist sermon, this week’s Thought has three points. Now that’s most probably where the similarity ends, because the first point is taken from Harry Potter. As you may or may not know, Harry Potter was a student at Hogwarts School and in the film there is a scene where all the students are together in the vast Great Hall. This is where they have their evening meal with long tables from one end of the hall to the other and students sitting each side of the tables. This dinner scene was definitely not what we would expect to see in a state school dining room, because all the food was beautifully laid out along the lengths of the tables. There was every kind of food available making up the scene of the sumptuous feast.

Point two is a personal event that I was treated to by my daughter when she came to visit for Father’s Day. From Hogwarts we move to Norwich and to Cosmo. If you haven’t been to Cosmo you need to get there (other restaurants are available, as they say). Why? I hear you cry, and the answer is, because it is a buffet style restaurant with every type of food and taste you could imagine, from chips, sushi, curries, Chinese food, steak, roasts, salads, meatballs, fish ….. the list goes on. To complete your meal there are also puddings of all sorts, with ice cream, chocolate fountains, fresh fruit and even sweets. The bit I enjoy, perhaps to my shame, is that you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like, now to me that’s a WOW!

Now the third point is the most important feast that we have to look forward to. In fact, it will make those other feasts pale into insignificance. Each time we share Communion we are reminded of Christ’s great gift of Himself, given for us. At this point, read Revelation 19:1-10. This is the account of the ultimate feast, when we will share with Christ in Heaven in the greatest Communion service of all, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Now I can’t fully imagine what that feast will be like, but I know it will be the best ever, the greatest ever, the most satisfying ever with the privilege of Father God sitting with us at that greatest dining table of all ..….. I’m planning to be there, are you?

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm greeting from us. Our dedicated welcome team will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. A member of the Leadership Team is also on hand to help with any queries. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the Bible. There will be teaching from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits (and sometimes cake) are served after the service when there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions. During the period of our building project we will not have access to our kitchen, so will be unable to offer refreshments as usual, however, please spend time after the service to share in fellowship together.

How are the children and youth involved at church?

We have fantastic programmes for the youth at WBC, for:

Creche (3 months - pre-school). Children under 3 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/carer at all times.
Ignite (reception - year 6)
T4:12 ( Year 7 - year 11)

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme. At the end of the service the group leaders will ensure you have your children.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
