Breakfast program
Our breakfast team had another busy Saturday morning giving out 134 breakfasts. We were
joined by 2 new volunteers – a mother / daughter team – who learned about the program
watching our on-line Sunday services. They join our list of non-parishioner volunteers who live
close by and want to help our community. We give thanks for the caring, compassion, and
energy these people bring to our team. We also give thanks for our experienced team members
who give an amazing warm and genuine welcome to these newcomers. Is it any wonder that
friends who join us on Saturdays say that while they appreciate the food, clothing and toiletries,
they come especially for the hospitality and caring they receive from the volunteers – truly God’s
love in action! Please join us and see how your financial support and prayers make it possible for
us to be God’s hand, feet and heart in this place.
Our next breakfast is Saturday, August 31st, from 9 – 10:30 am. All are welcome!

A little word of wisdom from the Edinburgh Festival:
My dad used to say to me: “Pints, gallons, litres” – which, I think, speaks volumes.
