Lunch

Well, well.. The Well across the street is serving free lunches each week (it seems to be Thurs) to anyone who wants to come in. They fix take outs and seem to happy to have anyone come and get food. This means that a lot of business people stop in for lunch. I haven't seen many poor and down and out folks going in, but apparently the people at The Well are glad to offer this ministry to one and all. In fact, this morning they stopped in and told us the menu. The girls went for lunch and it looked and smelled quite nice. Now, many churches would say, 'what is that getting us", none of those people will likely show up for church because most of them already have a church home. But maybe there is one, just one, that is without a church home or any spiritual life. Maybe there will be one person touched by the kindness and fellowship of those good folks. Maybe it will just touch the heart of one person who is in need of a kindness or just needs to know that not everything is done for gain. That will be the fulfillment of their mission. Good for them. We made them some aprons because I think we all need to affirm the attitude they exhibit. It reminds me a bit of Tim's work in the Mall Ministry. Sometimes just being there when someone needs you is as great as all the food and clothes and toys we distribute at Christmas. Just maybe they are on to something that we need a lot more of in this world.
