Carry-in or Fellowship Meals.

An interesting discussion developed after church last Sunday morning among a few folks. It was regarding the benefit vs. hassle of having carry-in meals. I was heartbroken just as much as Marty and Kenny that it got canceled for this Sunday! Lets look and the pro's and con's of this subject.
Some of the argument in favor of the carry-ins seems to be along this line:

1. Lunch is often prepared before leaving for church on Sunday mornings so why not just bring it along to church.
2. In most cases, you will find that you actually eat sooner on Sunday afternoon at a carry-in than you do if you go home to eat.

Arguments against:

1. It might be more difficult for those who live a distance from church.
2. It creates too much work for the hospitality committee.

I invite any of you to contribute more arguments in favor of or against carry-in meals on Sunday.

Isn't that what a hospitality committee is for, to help with meals like this?
Why not be a servant to the brothers and sisters in the Lord?
How often do you have fellowship meals anyway?
I think it's sad to cancel meals for thes reasons:-(

Getting a taste of someone else's cooking, can make you appreciate your own mother/wife's cooking!;)

It's a great time to fellowship (talk about hunting & sports) with all your buddies.
