Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new.
Corinthians 5:17

The Soup Kitchen has grown over the last thirty years to the point of serving between 250 and 300 nutritious lunches 6 days a week. We, as a small congregation, are able to do this because of over 75 dedicated volunteers that come from numerous other churches and organizations, as well as civic minded individuals. Read more...
