Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting the ministries offered at the Friendship Baptist Center. Each of these ministries are intended to create community as well as minister to a different part of the neighborhood. At the end of each highlight you will find a list of ways to help or contribute. Consider how you might be able to be a part of this community with us!
This week let’s think about the Tuesday morning Community Breakfast.
Each Tuesday at 9:30 AM individuals and families are welcome to come to the Center for Breakfast! These breakfasts are a generally simple affair that focus on fellowship and community. Some of the breakfasts are provided by volunteers who want to invest in this community. Others are made right there at the Center by members of the community who want to invest in their friends and neighbors.
At these breakfasts there is also an opportunity to receive help in necessities like bread, diapers, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc. Those desiring prayer are also invited to pray with others who care deeply about the members of this community.
I wish that I had the words to explain the sense of camaraderie I feel at our weekly breakfasts. We share stories. We share our lives. It may seem like a little thing, but walking next to one another is a powerful experience. I have been welcomed so warmly there. I think every member of God’s family would be welcomed here.
How can you help?
Immediately – We are out of shampoo right now. Could you donate some?
Ongoing
- The necessities that were mentioned above (shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, diapers) are always needed.
- Your presence. Maybe you can’t make breakfast, but if you feel led to commit to simply come for fellowship and investment in this community once or twice a month. You can make a difference and it will certainly make a difference in you!
