Bleary-eyed and hours from home, struggling to stay awake... Awful coffee and a Lorna Doone cookie at the rest stop... Okay, I think I can make it for another chunk of miles.
Thank God for the Rotary and Kiwanis people who cheerfully host those simple oases.
Maybe that’s what weekly church services are for: offering simple, spiritual hospitality and helping souls stay awake to their faith journeys.

This goes along with another quote I saw on a church bulletin board : Churches are gifts from God....Some assembly required!
There's actually a fair amount of depth in that little quip!
Church culture would be a fair bit healthier if we (Americans) would do a reality inventory of our expectations.
i like your idea of what church gatherings may be for...but let's stop serving up lousy coffee (stimulation) and stale factory cookies (sustenance)......not that that is what YOU are doing, of course!
