Community Dinner |
||
|
|
|
By 2003 the church had
begun an active social ministry addressing issues of homelessness and hunger
in our community. A response to the needs was the institution of a community
meal served every Thursday night in the church fellowship hall. A complete
meal of spaghetti, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage is provided without
cost to anyone wishing to come. While many homeless
participate, there are also many others, who while not homeless, have other
needs this community meal addresses. Some come to enjoy a hot meal they
otherwise may not have had while others come to escape their own isolation by
sharing in a meal with others. As many as 350 persons can be found enjoying
this opportunity on any given Thursday night. This community meal also
offers individuals opportunities for service. Whether cooking in the kitchen,
acting as servers, making salads, or just taking the time to listen to the
stories of those coming for the meal, volunteers are welcome at any time. The
meal begins at 5:00p.m. and ends at 7:00p.m. If you have any questions about
the community dinner or would like information on how you can help, please contact
Jeanne Anderson,
our minister with adults and missions. |
