and I will put you on our schedule and assist you with ideas so we can serve a well-balanced meal. We have been serving the disadvantaged for many years through the Cafe of Life.
Quoting Barbara Metcalfe from so many years ago…”But then we came upon this passage from St Luke’s Gospel Chapter 14:12-14
When you give a luncheon or a dinner do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.
