The people of my church are gathering for a soups on event tonight. I rhought it was a good thing an oppotunity for believers to gather in a social event and maybe even bring some new people to share in food and share in time with the Lord's people. and possible see some of jesus in us.

When I asked one of our congregation members if he was coming. He responded by saying " Whats the point if it's just food I can do that at home" I said for the fellowship. He said " is it really" I didn't know how to respond to this. I always thought it was a good thing when Christians gathered.
I would appreciate comments and any scripture verses. I looked at Naves topical bible under fellowship but it really wasn't a lot of help.
