Church potlucks

From a description of a church that David Hansen pastored:

"It's potlucks were koinonia celebrations and healing services. Sometimes during a dinner I'd just stand off to the side and watch the people minister to each other. People didn't just sit with their friends. Old people were visiting with young people. New people were never alone. I could see people with problems visiting with people who desired to help them. It was no big deal, they just shared their lives with one another and laughed. Laughter was everywhere. People told stories. Fishermen lied to anyone gullible enough to listen. I know that people met Jesus at these potlucks. We just got together and let people visit."
