SDAs Invite 5,000+ to Lunch

[Gregory Matthews]

On August 9, 2017, SDAs  In the Metro Denver area have been invited to pray for a picnic that will be hosted   on the following day.

*  This picnic lunch will take place in the City Park of Denver.

*  The table will consist of 660 sections, each 8-feet long, for a total of 5,280 feet, or one mile in length.

*  It will seat 5,280 people.

*  The plan is to unite people from diverse backgrounds, economic levels , nationalities, socio-economic, racial, gender, denominational and political, around a common table and shared meal.  

*  Thirty-three Metro Denver Mayors have agreed to participate, along with other invited community leaders.

*  Each of the 660 sections will have a host who provide for the needs of their section.

*  Contractors will build the 660 sections of the table.

*  Following the close of the picnic, the 660 sections of the table will be donated to Metro Denver neighborhoods for their future use to foster community in their areas.

 *  I think, but could be wrong, that this project came out of the doctoral studies of Tim Cress, of the LifeSource SDA Fellowship in Denver.

 

NOTE:  I have abstracted the above information from:  Carol Bolden,  "LifeSource Fellowship Builds Mile-Long Table," Outlook, July/August, 2017, page 22.
