Did you have a chance to break bread with the Bishop?
|
Perhaps you had dinner in the parish hall of Epiphany & Christ Church in Orange. Or sandwiches and a raft of desserts at St. Michael’s in Wayne. Or you broke bread at St. Paul’s in Chatham on a surprisingly warm spring evening or feasted in the rustic parish hall of Church of the Messiah in Chester. Or perhaps you traveled to Church of the Saviour in Denville for breakfast and a gathering focused on churches in transition.
If you joined the Bishop and Bishop’s staff at any one of those special breaking bread events, you know it was a nourishing experience in more ways than one.
