How Community Cafe Began
After reading Mike Slaughter’s book Change the World: Reclaiming the Message and Mission of Jesus, our missions committee began making plans to expand our Society of St Stephen’s Food Pantry. We wanted to continue to distribute approximately 20 food boxes a week, but we also wanted to provide a weekly meal, followed by a short worship service. With our missions committee providing the first meal, “Community Cafe” began on Monday October 4th.
Cooking Teams
We now have over 8 cooking teams. Our goal would be to have at least 10 or more teams. Our cooking teams prepare the meal, serve, and clean up. The teams also spend time talking with our guests and assisting in the food pantry.
How You Can Help
If your Sunday school class, small group, or family would like to form a team, contact Tommy Earl Burton and he will get you on the schedule. And, if you haven’t had the pleasure of joining our guests for fellowship and a meal at our “Community Cafe,” then plan on gathering in Wesley Hall on Monday nights from 5:30-6:30pm. See you soon!
