Peace Meal has continued every Saturday since it began officially in 2006. We have nine faithful churches, including St. Mark Presbyterian, who send teams to staff the prep and service. We also have a few once-a-year groups that volunteer throughout the year.
We call this meal program the Peace Meal Project because we know that a meal is only a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to addressing poverty, inequality, and loneliness. This ministry is focused exclusively on serving a meal; we do not collect or distribute clothes, food items, or transportation tickets. But we believe that sharing a fellowship meal together brings us closer to the reign of God that we hope for: a community of justice, peace, and dignity for all people.
All of those involved in Peace Meal appreciate the support of St. Mark both personally and financially. We are grateful to be included in your prayers.
As always, if you are interested in having more involvement in Peace Meal (there are many more ways than volunteering on St. Mark Saturdays) we hope that you will reach out.
