Local churches reaching out

St. Thomas Episcopal and Peace Lutheran churches have joined together to share a ministry, the services of the Rev. Mike Wiechers and now, a free community meal. The first dinner is Jan. 21 and the gatherings will continue the third Thursday of each month.
And, according to Wiechers, his wife Angie is responsible. “She’s the one really getting this whole thing started,” he said.
According to Angie, when the two churches interviewed the couple they expressed interest in community outreach. “The church we came from had a community meal and I mentioned it,” she said. From that conversation came decisions to move forward, set a schedule and have the meal at St. Thomas.
The churches will pay for the food, parish members will sign up to volunteer to cook and serve the meals that are open to “anyone and everyone,” according to Angie.
Donations will be accepted but are not required.
The first dinner will feature spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, salad and dessert.
“A real dinner,” said Angie.

I think it is wonderful, there are alot of hungry people in this area. I also think it would be nice to have a homeless shelter for men, there is a house for women but not for the men. There are also alot of men with nowhere to go in the area as well.
