What is The Vineyard Takeaway?

We often use the analogy of getting fed at Church. Well, how does the church feed people?

We've been thinking about this, and came to the conclusion that we have been trying to make church like a restuarant. We would prepare, serve and even cut up into bite-sized pieces the spiritual food - so everyone leaves full-up and can last through to the following Sunday.

We didn't think this was the best way...

So we're trying an experiment where we're trying to be less like a restuarant and more like a place where, instead of being fed, we get taught to hunt and farm and cook our own food. This means we can feed ourselves through the week, and perhaps more importantly, be able to feed those around us who are spiritually starving!

The Vineyard Takeaway is to try and give you tools to help you feed yourself throughout the week. It helps you know where to start in the Bible, and gives some help in how to apply the events of thousands of years ago into your everyday life.

All you have to do is find some time, get a quiet place and give it a go!

Our Sunday message will be a little shorter, and the speaker won't try to tie everything up - leave some questions unanswered and some applications unsuggested, to allow us to find out for ourselves in partnership with the Holy Spirit.
