The Lobby
*Looking for Donations...
We are looking for people to donate food for the meal we serve Sunday nights...or if you know of people / organizations / grocers that would be able to donate. We are looking for items ranging from produce to meat to pasta...basically food.
You can drop your donations off in the Red Wagon which is in the lobby of the church. You can also contact
Walter (
thelobby@citycentrechurch.com) for more details.
The Lobby is a community meal that we share together every Sunday evening. A bunch of youth come out and help prepare a meal during the day on Sunday, then bring it over to the church for a meal served at 5:30pm for the community. It isn't your typical soup kitchen meal service. It is done by the community, for the community.
The Lobby has been a really awesome opportunity for the people to get involved in something meaningful in the community. We truly believe that when Jesus said "By this, people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another," (John 13:35) He wasn't joking around.
For the meal, we actually sit down together around a table and eat and chat. The goal is for the Lobby to be a place where people feel like they can come and relax and hang feel genuinely cared about. We don't just want to meet a need, but to care for the whole person, not just a hungry tummy. Basically, we're just trying to create an atmosphere where people feel at home. And the best part is rich and poor, short and tall, lonely, or not; every person is welcome to join us. We pray that God's kingdom come and his will be done in the Lobby, as it is in Heaven.
If you would like to volunteer, or donate any food supplies, please contact Walter.
