The congregation that I attend has a feeding program for
those in the community that need it. The congregation has a strong social
action commitment that I appreciate and hope to support more than I am
presently. (I’m new to this congregation and am just figuring out what talents
of mine can be helpful to the congregation.) They offer a free breakfast
several mornings each week.
Last week a man who regularly attended the breakfasts passed
away during breakfast, in the room where breakfast is served. His death has
affected that feeding community deeply. The congregation is having his memorial
service at 8:00 AM. It will be, of course, followed by breakfast.
8:00 AM is the appropriate time for that worship service. It is being
held at the time and place where those who are most affected by his life and
death will meet most easily. This is one more action that I admire about this
new-to-me congregation. Their commitment is to meet people in a time and place
that best meets their needs.
