It really sounded like “Bring a chair”!
OK so on Friday night we had a joint meeting between six churches in Gibraltar. It was awesome. This stuff has never happened in Gibraltar before. There is a good unity developing between us….but I digress…….
The week before the meting I run into this local pastor in the local supermarket and he confirms: “Meeting is at seven o´clock on Friday”, and “bring a chair”.
I therefore announce last Sunday that everyone has to take a chair to the meeting - I mean, someone even said that the hosting church the local Methodist church was undergoing refurbishment and they had taken all of their chairs out!
So it was NOT “bring a chair” but “bring and share!”
How I went from a potluck to a chair is beyond me, but I tell you one thing, at present I am the laughing stock of Gibraltar.
