Food, glorious food...

It's a relief to see that the Bible includes various stories about Jesus eating meals with his disciples.... because food seems to have played a prominent part in the first two days of the LDC. On Sunday, once all our international students had arrived, we gave everyone a "taste of Spain" by having a big buffet of Spanish tapas. And, because it was someone's birthday, these savoury snacks were followed up by delicious chocolate and strawberry cupcakes. Then, on Monday morning, we had a special welcome breakfast, before going into a time of group worship and individual "creative meditations" based on the book of Philippians.
