Dinner & Liturgy

"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God..." —Acts 2:46–

We meet every Sunday at 5pm in the Activity Center at Faith Lutheran Church for Dinner and Liturgy. 

Jesus often shared meals with people. These meals became sacred space for connection, teaching, and worship as well as social gatherings. That’s why we’re embracing Dinner & Liturgy as a return to the early church’s simplicity, where worship, prayer, and Scripture come alive in conversation over a shared meal.
 

Why Dinner & Liturgy?

  • It’s what Jesus did. At Austin Mustard Seed we aspire to "practice the way of Jesus." Jesus shared meals with all kinds of people during his life. He turned ordinary tables into sacred spaces.

  • It’s relational. Food disarms us and makes space for conversations and relationships to deepen. Around the table we can talk about our faith, learn from each other, and follow Jesus together. 

  • It’s missional. This format makes space to invite friends, people we will meet in the surrounding neighborhood, and others who are lonely and hungry. it's an opportunity to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of people we know and many who we will meet.

​

Here’s what you can expect:
 

  • A family-style dinner (no pressure to bring anything because we're providing the food!)

  • Unhurried worship and prayer in a relaxed, casual setting.

  • Conversations about Jesus where everyone’s voice matters.

  • Lots of noise and kids are welcome. We are planning for all ages!
     

This isn’t just a change of time or location—it’s an invitation to community and to practice the way of Jesus with others. Come hungry!

FAQ's

At Dinner & Liturgy we gather in the Activity Center (which is a church gym!). Someone will greet you at the door and help you figure out where to go. We'll share a meal prepared by volunteers in our community while we talk about our week. There will be prayers, something for the kids, time to explore scripture, pray for each other, and share Eucharist together. Finally we'll be sent out to take God's love into our homes, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.
