The Morning Service
The Morning Service
Once upon a time, there was a man who ran a coffee shop in a church in Japan. He was also the minister of the church. The coffee shop opened only in the morning. Most of the customers were church members. When he served the food and drinks, he performed a special liturgy as the following. He named it "The Morning Service."
Minister: Peace be with you!
Members: And also with you!
Minister: A piece of croissant be with you!
Members: And also with you!

モーニング・サービス : This is one of Japanish expression which were made from English words, "morning" and "service". However, we use this expression when referring to a typical set menu for breakfast that many coffee shops in Japan would serve at reasonable price in the morning hours. On the other hand, someone told me the English word " service" is also used when talking about worship services in churches. So, I thought that morning services could mean worship services performed in the morning in churches. Please let me know if this story works as a funny story for you.
