Even More FAQs

5/23/2019

 
We’ve been receiving more great questions lately, so I thought I’d share a few of them here in another FAQ round-up:
 
Where do you gather for worship? 
In July of 2018 we started living into a pop-up model of gathering, changing our location from time to time. To find out where we are gathering this week, check out our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MadisonvillePotluck/.
 
What should I wear to a Potluck worship? 
Most of us seem to come to worship in comfortable, casual clothes. Some of us come directly from our workplaces, so we come in our work clothes, whatever they may be. This week I wore my church camp t-shirt and jeans. Someone else wore a plaid shirt and khakis because he had come directly from a meeting. Another wore her work attire of a dressy shirt and dress pants. Others wore t-shirts and jeans. 
 
Where else can I read more about Potluck Church? 
  • In May 2018 Potluck Church’s story was shared by the Disciples News Service: https://disciples.org/congregations/kentucky-church-uses-dinner-model-to-expand-communion/
 
  • This spring Potluck Church was highlighted as a Moment for Mission story as part of the Pentecost Special Offering to benefit New Church Ministries: https://disciplesmissionfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/2019-Pentecost-Offering-Moment-for-Mission-2.pdf
 
  • On May 14, 2019 Kendall Vanderslice released her new book, We Will Feast: Rethinking Dinner, Worship, and the Community of God. She shared the story of Potluck Church in chapter 7 “On Membership.” You can learn more at http://kendallvanderslice.com/we-will-feast. And, to read the sample chapter about Potluck Church, please click the menu tab on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MadisonvillePotluck/.

  • As a result of Vanderslice’s book, Henry Brinton referenced us in his article in the on-line magazine,Read the Spirit, too!  https://www.readthespirit.com/explore/dinner-churches-put-shared-meals-at-the-center-of-worship-and-congregational-life/?fbclid=IwAR3GjrXqXQCirxElfLQitoVN3xC9gFX-_A-khtQCXHYvRqd_J7ioSqAb3nc

    Set a table, invite Christ and others, leave an empty chair, serve up some powerful questions, and break bread.
