Feeding Our Community Physically and Spiritually
|
From NIDnews.org:
“This is a sacred place.” The soup kitchen at St. Matthew, Chicago is more than a ministry which provides meals to those who are hungry. It is a “congregation,” a gathering place where all are welcome, and a community which spans neighborhoods and demographics to share the love of Jesus. Read more at
nidnews.org/st-matthews-soup-kitchen.
