We do not attend church to be fed. This is Australia not a 3rd world country where the congregation may never see sweet treats.. Providing tea / coffee/fruit juice and plain biscuits is sufficient to encourage friendly social conversation at church. It is up to each and every one of us to be kind and welcoming in our approach to others. Cakes etc.should be saved the celebrate special events.
Australia has a serious problem with obesity You only have to spend time in our hospital transit lounges to see the very disastrous and tragic consequences of obesity, often staring form a very young age.
Providing meals to those who are doing it tough or have temporary health issues or have just had a new addition to their family, is a lovely practical way to show that the church family care.
