What does it mean for a middle-class church to offer the broken, the hungry, and the wounded an invitation to come to the table?
Kat has found a way to channel her enthusiasm for radical Christianity in a practical way: starting a food pantry at the church.
But as Kat watches the way Edesa Baxter relates to the wider needs of those seeking assistance – spiritual as well as physical and practical – she begins to see that the people coming to the food pantry are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink. She’s beginning to see the deep significance of inviting people to come to the table as a community of God’s people.
But when the church asks someone else to run the food pantry – Kat’s pet project! – and that same someone also seems to have her heart set on the same guy who has captured Kat’s attention, she must begin to ask herself some serious questions. What does God require of her when it comes to fellowship and sacrifice?
