Tremendous thanks go out to Steve Assarian and the many good friends who mobilized last week to bake hundreds of loaves of delicious bread for World Communion Sunday at Fountain Street Church. All this in our church kitchen!

The bread was distributed freely after worship and shared at countless tables alone or over special conversations - bringing the communion of our impossible church into the homes of our people.

We may not celebrate this day like every other church - but we live the message of beloved community abundantly and joyfully unfettered by dogma and creed.

Thank you Steve and all the bakers for this selfless act of radical abundance!
