I was in my Monday night discussion group this week, and we were catching up with Matt and Laura, who had been to the Greenbelt Festival for the first time. They had loved it, and had a particularly wonderful story to tell …
On the Sunday morning of Greenbelt, there’s a communion service which works by people gathering in groups of about 10, and collecting a bag which will have all you need for communion – some juice, bread and a napkin.
Matt and Laura were in a group without a bag – it seems they had all gone.
In a wonderful re-imagining of the feeding of the 5,000, someone in the group volunteered that they had an oaty bar that they were willing to share with the group.
So they passed it round and all took a piece of the oaty bar. To add to the delight of the whole situation, it turned out that the oaty bar had raisins in it, which meant that the wine was covered as well.
Well, how about that !
