Homeless Shelter
"When I was hungry....you fed me......" Looking for an opportunity to spread God's love? Not sure what to do or where to start?
Twice a month, Ebenezer has the joy of preparing and serving a hearty and hot home-style meal to the residents of the Thurman Brisben Shelter. Residents and staff are all very excited when they see Ebenezer's name on the dinner schedule as we strive to provide some of the warmth and touches of home that they surely miss.
It is a very fun and simple way to share God's love when you fill a belly! Absolutely no experience or materials are required for you to provide. Cooks start at 3:30 PM and finish up by 6:00 PM. Servers start at 5:45 PM and finish prior to 6:45 PM. Come and join us and share in the fun! The joy and fellowship are incredible. The sign up list is on the bulletin board directly across from the church office.Help prepare and serve dinner at the homeless shelter twice a month.
