Hello, My name is Hwa and along with my wife Suzie and about 10 other faithful servants we make up the refreshments ministry. The primary purpose of this ministry is to glorify God by feeding our Church
family during various Church events (1 Corinthians 10:31). At our Church we love to eat and more specifically we love to eat a lot of meat and I have the pleasure of filling our bellies with yummy meat. We believe that God created everything that is on the earth and that all food is clean and suitable for consumption. With an exception that if eating or drinking causes a brother to sin we will abstain from it
(1 Corinthians 8:13).
Over the past 11 years the role of refreshments ministry has evolved from one person feeding about 30 people to now over 10 workers consistently feeding as many as 300 people. The Refreshments Ministry provides Sunday morning delights and refreshments for various other functions such as Fun in the Sun (FITS), Anniversary Services, Resurrection Sunday breakfast, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mission bowl, and Members Meeting Dinners. Over the years I estimate we served about 11 thousand meals that include about…
- 700 lbs of Turkey
- 500 lbs of Ham
- 400 lbs of hot links
- 500 lbs of hot dogs
- 880 lbs of hamburgers
- 3,000 sandwiches
- 500 lbs of fried chicken
- 1,000 pizzas
- 15,000 bottles of water, sodas and juice boxes
- …and 1 lb veggie burger (back in 01′)
We can always use faithful servants that enjoy serving others through food. If you are a member please contact Suzie at suzie4jc@yahoo.com. How much food to prepare is always a challenge as we never really know how many people will show up to various Church functions. Portioning and menu planning can also be difficult as men will often consume more food then the ladies. Please pray that our team will serve others with a humble heart that seeks to glorify God.
