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!
