Different ones show up as they can (some live a long ways off). A couple of them don't generally meet with us any other time of the week. It's always real and always rich! But not in any way organized by the "church." (unless you use the proper definition of church as the "called-out gathering" - the group certainly is that)

That's commendable.... really..... but unless the whole congregation benefits then the profit is limited.
This sounds like what Brother Nee described as "shaking hands over the fence". The brothers breakfast is satisfying on the personal level to those brothers but after the fellowship you each go your separate ways.
