S.N.A.C.

An acronym is fun and useful tool to express and remember a particular product or event.  Radar and Laser are both acronyms.  So is NATO and PATCO (Port Authority Transit COporation).  SNAC (pronounced like "snack") stands for Sunday Night After Church.  This is what we call it when we plan a church fellowship after the evening services.  Oh, when we plan a fellowship after the morning services ... SMAC.

Now this past weekend we had a real dilemma, what do you call it when you have dinner before the evening church service then desert afterwards?  SNBAC (Before / After) or SNAPS (Ahead / Post Services).  That could work!  Catchy titles make a difference.  Inviting everyone to participate in a "Covered Dish" prior to the evening services just doesn't have the same ring to it.  Well I couldn't come up with a good acronym for this past fellowship so I decided to just call it a "Soup & Salad" night.  So we had a row of crock-pots and another row of bowls filled with all kinds of salad stuff, as well as bread & rolls & biscuits.  Good Eats!

Soup, Salad, Services & Save room for desert!  That's catchy.  Forget the name, just remember that the goal is spending time together around the table, sharing a meal, talking and getting to know one another a little bit better.   It doesn't take an acronym to knit hearts together, just opportunity.  A warm bowl of soup on a chilly Sunday evening (before church) can accomplish a great deal.
