Friday Night Feasts

Join us for a joyful time of fellowship together each Friday evening. It begins with Evening Prayer (4:30pm) at the Village Chapel. Thereafter we move to the back deck of the barn for a BBQ (summer) or inside the barn for soup (winter). The meal is a feast - ending a day of fasting.* We feast in honor of a saint whose feast day lands close to the date of the Friday. We tell the story of the saint and celebrate a life of faithfulness to Christ - reminding ourselves that we are part of the “great cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1). The meal ends with a brief time of sharing that is focused on gratitude.

FOOD: It’s a modified potluck

• Iona House provides hot dogs / sausages (and veggie options), buns, condiments, chips and plates / plasticware.

• Guests are welcome to provide a side dish: salad, fruit, dessert, drinks, etc.

WHO: Residents, staff, guests, volunteers, and friends are welcome… You are welcome. If it’s your first time joining us, please RSVP so we can send you details about address, parking, and any other updates.

RSVP

* - It is traditional within the Great Tradition of the Church to alter/restrict one’s diet (aka fast) each Friday during the day as a way of honoring Jesus’ death on this day of the week - being further conformed to Christ. Typically this looks like choosing not to eat meats or rich foods.
