Experiencing God Through Relationships

Tuesday Lunch is a ministry of our church that provides lunch for people in our city from 10:30 to 12:00 every Tuesday morning. Although associated with Neighborhood Needs, Tuesday Lunch is a separate ministry that focuses on building relationships with the poor people of our city and ministering to their needs. Many of the people that come for lunch are regular attenders because after their first meal they realize that are accepted for who and where they are in life. They experience God through the relationships they develop over a meal, and their lives are being transformed because of the interest volunteers show in their lives through conversation and prayer. One  story is of a young woman who came and was sitting alone. One of the volunteers sat down across from her and asked what was going on in her life and how she was doing. With tears in her eyes the young woman began to talk about the struggles she was having. She explained that the tears were from the interest the volunteer took in her by sitting down and talking to her.
 
God uses people to show his love. He uses a plate of food to set the table for conversations that show his love and transform lives. Last year over 7500 people’s lives were touched through a plate of food and a conversation. Interested in being God’s hands and feet? Come join us on Tuesdays.
