The Meal Ministry is a way for the members of the church body to care for one of the most basic necessities: food. This ministry serves those who are unable or are limited in being able to care for this necessity for themselves of their family, be it from delivering a baby or a prolong illness.<\/p>\n<p>How does it work? When a need is identified, an email is sent out, asking members if they, males and females alike, can sign up for a meal. The email provides information about which individual or family, how many times a week they need a meal, in what time frame they would like the meal dropped off, and if there are any dietary restrictions. People can sign up on the internet through a Google Calendar.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t get the emails. Who do I contact? Mrs. Grace Lee<\/p>\n<p>How can I help? As we know, there has been a LBC record-breaking baby boom this year. There is a need for people to help coordinate meals! Prerequisites include being diligent about emailing and a love for people, as one will need to be a communication liaison for those signing up for the meal ministry and the recipients.<\/p>\n<p>Member testimonials Mrs. Grace Lee says, \u201cIt\u2019s been a blessing to see people who are willing to give of their time and resources to minister to the physical needs of others\u2026 As the church has gotten bigger, it\u2019s easier for people to just overlook the meal ministry emails and think that other people will step up to help, but that\u2019s not always the case. \u2026 People don\u2019t realize it until they themselves have been recipients of the ministry, but those who receive the meal ministry are truly blessed by it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keziah Kim says, \u201cI love food. I love people. When you put the two together, you get the meal ministry. \u2026 It is a blessing to have the resources and time to aid and encourage the church family during times of hardship, times of need, and\/or times of transition. \u2026 I made this chicken thing\u2026 Though I went hoping to give encouragement, I received so much! \u2026 Romans 12:13 \u2013 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Meal ministry is a very practical way of applying this, to share the love of Christ. Sign up today!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Moon Choi What is it?
