So what does egg and bacon have to do with business? Well, this Saturday we are putting the two together - along with sausages, beans etc - as we host our first Business Breakfast at The Solent Hotel in Whiteley. This is something new and has been the work of a number of business people from the church.
Most people spend an hour a week in church and the rest working. It is in those places that Christians can make the most difference and transform society from the inside. It's not the only place to make a difference but it is a vital one that has for too long been neglected. Sermons seek to be relevant to people's lives and applicable to many personal situations, but the workplace is a peculiar place for many and people need encouraging, inspiring, resourcing and empowering.
That's my hope for Saturday's breakfast. That those who come will begin to feel that they are not alone. That the event will say, you are not forgotten and there is a connection between church and work, everything is spiritual and we have to join it all up again.
I'm looking forward to hearing Steve Gates speak, I'm definitely looking forward to the breakfast but most of all, I'm looking forward to seeing people network together and walk out knowing that people care and that God cares as well.
This is only the start. Many more breakfasts to come, I hope!
