I keep forgetting to post pictures of our Lent “Soup Kitchens” which are happening every Tuesday night in one or other of our Church Halls. Here’s a collage of photos.
Marilyn, Pam and Sue are chief servers [thank you for your hard work every week] – and here is our lovely soup kettle [from Makro, makes 9 litres- serves between 45-60 portions, depending on your mug size!] There’s Bob [fixing the computer] and Tom the Rector [with Jill from the Coalville foodbank] and finally some happy supper guests.
It has worked really well as a ‘Churches Together’ Lenten event, with 60+ attending each time. Our speakers have been good, and the donations generous. We have learned quite a lot about poverty and deprivation in our area- and how our Christian brothers and sisters are working to alleviate suffering.
Wonderful idea. Our church hasn't had them this year, but used to call them 'Hunger lunches'.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend an evening, giving a helping hand. You had an excellent turn out too and if everyone went home a little wiser that's even better.
