St Mark members have been supporting the Peace Meal project since its beginning in May 2009. The coordinating Church is St John’s Episcopal Church adjacent Tower Grove Park on Arsenal. Peace Meal began as an idea in the mind of the pastor of St John’s, Teresa Danieley. Her vision was to provide a homemade hot meal once a week for needy residents and homeless in the Tower Grove area.
Teresa researched and found grants available to make the church’s kitchen and facility up to code to serve the public a meal. In addition to the grants her church and supporting churches have provided Peace Meal with the funds to support the feeding of 75 to 100 needy people every week of the year.
Through the financial support of the Deacons every 6 to 7 weeks St Mark members’ carpool to St John’s to lovingly prepare and serve a home cooked meal. We welcome any St Mark member who would like to join this very worthwhile mission to email Bruce Cranston and get on the volunteer list.
