Yes, its about food for the soul And I'll take a plate of that gumbo too, if you're cooking

We have tried doing the meal before, and after. Doing the meal before seems to work best for our group.

Is it difficult to pray, sing, worship, teach, etc on a full stomach? Usually after eating a meal I just kind of want to sit there and veg out. I suppose if I were Presbyterian it might work, but...

No massive moves of God when you are blown out with food. That's why it is after service. For awhile one brother wanted pasta and garlic bread every Sunday for year. It was inexpensive, and worked out well. Only one side effect was that it was heavy carbs, and that means SLEEP. After Sunday service meal everyone would go to their homes and fall out. One day the garlic was so heavy that new visitors were wondering why everyone smelled like they were trying to ward off vampires.

Well, did Jesus pass out the loaves and fishes, before or after he preached, I can't remember, lol!

We use to do a meal after the service but it was a major endeavor. I have had to cook steaks, pasta, meat sauce, garlic bread, salads, salad dressings, sweet tea, unsweet tea. I could of used JoReba and Francis, they both could of taken a few hot links fed five thousand and with no dirty plates.

Well, you've managed to turn this into a food post...

We haven't done steaks, but I generally cook a large casserole or a big crock pot of something and people bring sides, like a potluck.

Things haven't changed since Jesus walked the earth. People still need the loaves and fishes - food for the body and soul, all together ... and I would not want to have the 2 you mentioned having anything to do with food being served, lol...
