FELC Team Feeds on Sunday, June 19
On Sunday, April 3, the FELC team of Brian, Cassi, Anne, Meiling, and Sarah served folks at the Micah 6 ministry center.
The Micah 6 Street Youth program is a series of services supporting young adults 30 and younger who are street dependent. Housed in University Baptist Church (UBC) near the UT campus, there are drop-in times on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Computer labs, a hot, home cooked meal, snacks, basic clothing, TV, a laundry, and toiletries are provided. Together, the Micah 6 partner churches, including First English, and additional individuals have served more than 10,000 meals in ten years. A safe place out of the elements and some essential services (that most of us take for granted!) is a keystone of this ministry.
In addition to providing financial support to the Micah 6 ministries, First English is a consistent participant in the Sunday afternoon/evening meal provided to the young people.
You can be a part of this ministry by preparing food or volunteering to serve the meal. The food need not be home-cooked; store-bought dishes are welcome. Any level of participation is appreciated.
Meals are served on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 pm and are delivered in the circle drive at UBC. Someone will be there to take your dish or we can even meet you somewhere else if that’s more convenient. Our next date will be Sunday, June 19 with head chef Anne Wiebe.
Please contact Heidi Goebel Heidigoebel@sbcglobal.net or Merrily Porter msporter58@gmail.com if you can cook and/or serve or if you just want to discuss this ministry. We’d be happy to talk about it or answer any questions. Thank you for your continued advocacy and prayers on behalf of those in our neighborhood.
