Luke 14:12-14 NIV “Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
As most of you know we have been providing a meal once a month at St. Lucas Church. They also serve lunches daily, but due to some illnesses in the church, they have had to cut down to 3 days a week. After much prayer, we have decided to pick up one of those days, which will be the first Friday of every month. We are so excited as so many of the people who come to eat have become very close friends of ours. This will start Friday, September 4th, from 12 to 12:45 p.m. We will be providing pot roast, potatoes, and carrots, and all the fixins. Such a cool way to give back to our community and help those that are struggling right now. The event is scheduled at St. Lucas Lutheran Church at 745 Walbridge Avenue (Off of Broadway), Toledo, OH 43609 from 12 to 12:45 (Please note you will need to use the Frank Door Entrance). This is for the entire family so feel free to bring your children. We have a sign-up sheet for all items that we need below. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BESIDE EACH ITEM YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR SO YOU PROVIDE THE CORRECT QUANTITY NEEDED!!
We need all the food to be brought in the full size aluminum pans. Please make sure they are completely full as that is what we are basing the portion sizes on.
If you want to sign up for multiple items, please feel free to do that. We need all items at the church NO LATER THAN 11 am and please come in the Frank Street Entrance at the Big RED DOOR!! Please note we are unable to pick up food items, so please only sign up if you are able to drop them off at church:) All items also need to be fully cooked (except canned corn, green beans, and gravy). The link above will take you directly to the sign-up sheet. Also, if you would like to make a monetary donation visit the Miracle CHRISTmas website and click on the “donate” tab for a secure paypal donation. Thanks for helping us feed the least of these ~ MATTHEW 25:40 If you are willing to help the day of the event, please sign up also – that section is at the bottom of the sign-up sheet! We will need many to stay afterwards to help us clean up please. Thanks for continuing to be the hands and feet of Jesus!! This is such a cool outreach and I am really excited about this!! You guys are simply amazing!
Something for everyone to think about also as we prepare for this meal, What does kindness mean to each of you? I sometimes think we underestimate how powerful kindness can be to people who are hurting. It truly can change their lives FOREVER!
GOD IS GOOD. . ALL THE TIME!!
