September Mission Emphasis: Feed My People Breakfast
Twice a week for more than 20 years, our Great Hall has hummed to life by 5:15AM to host the Feed MyPeople Breakfast, a program of the Foundation for the Homeless. For our guests, it is a brief escape from dangers of unsheltered living and a chance for fellowship, coffee, and a hot meal of eggs, sausage, biscuits, and gravy. Showers, clothing, and AA meetings are currently available. For the church, the Breakfast has expanded our understanding and care for our unhoused neighbors and continues to anchor and ground our weekly rhythm as a community of faith. It is a key way we use our building in support of our downtown neighborhood and a constant reminder that Jesus gathered with people from the margins of society, ate with them, loved them, and asked us to do the same.
While we raised funds in July for the special Christmas Eve Breakfast, we also underwrite many costs associated with hosting the Breakfast each week and purchase the food for each fourth Tuesday of the month. Your generosity will help to defray the cost of the twice weekly Feed My People Breakfast, as we offer respite and care for our friends living on the streets.
Your gifts, marked “Feed My People Breakfast,” may be placed in the offering basket during worship, mailed to or brought by the church office, or made online using the button below
