Yesterday we had our International Sunday and after the service we really enjoyed a lunch together with food from many parts of the world. It was good to try some new things, and listen to people enthusing about dishes from their own country and encouraging others to try a bit. I was certainly well fed by the end.
We had 21 nationalities represented, and in rough west to east order they were:
USA, Brazil, Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, Tobago, Grenada, St. Helena, Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, England, Scotland, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
Heaven is going to be filled with people from every nation (Revelation 7:9), and one of the images used in the New Testament is of a great feast (e.g. Luke 14:15-24) - so it is good to get some practice in now!
