It will be delightful to be with you this Sunday, and to speak on why we should do away with head tables.
Or at least sort of!
It is from the head table incident in James 2:1-11, where the wealthier well-dressed get the nice table and the disheveled poor are asked to sit in the corner or on the floor. This is called prejudice, or favoritism, or love based on appearance. I think you will find it interesting, and maybe convicting, if you are like me.
Wear what you wish!
