Bread House Week 23
Last week the Bread House had a first.
It was the first time it was closed since it’s opening during Covid-19! The picture below shows exactly why. You couldn’t get to it! Hurricane Sally caused the number of bags (both in and out) to be down from the previous weeks. When the Bread House reopened on Friday, we had a lot of visitors.
As I talked with someone about our newest Mission initiative, I discovered that many in the congregation had not experienced the joy of feeding the least of these. I gain so much happiness seeing the smiles on people faces as we help alleviate stress with a simple bag of food. So please let members of the congregation know the value this Outreach program is doing for our community.
If you haven’t stopped by the Bread House, please take the time to visit us! If you want to help,
please call or show up and learn how to help! As always, thank you for all you do to help “the
least of these”!
Blessings!
