Soul Purpose Christmas

During Soul Purpose Sunday, we floated an idea to host a big Christmas Day bash and invite people who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day to come along. So far the idea has met with positive response. Today in the book I'm reading, I read this:

"Every culture has particular ways of eating. Some folks eat with chopsticks: others sit on the floor. In India we ate with our right hands. How do Christians eat? Christians eat with poor folks, with the outcast, the marginalized, and the excluded - all who were never invited to anyone else's party."
