 St. Paul Lutheran
members serve meals regularly at the Frederick Community Action Agency.
St. Paul members provide the food and staff for Sunday dinners on
months with five Sundays. |
 This is done
as a service project by one or more of the organizations of the church.
The coordinating organization or individuals plan a menu, then post a sign-up
sheet a few weeks before the 5th Sunday. The sign-up sheet provides
members an opportunity to provide donations of the menu items and to volunteer
their time to serve at the kitchen. This service opportunity is open
to all the membership both young and old. At about 4:15 PM on Sunday
they meet at the church to car pool to the kitchen in Frederick or just
meet at the soup kitchen at about 4:30 PM |
 Upon arriving
at the kitchen there are numerous preparation tasks to be completed prior
to 5:30 PM when the clients are served. These include cooking, preparing
the food and dining room. Typically food is provided for about 100
individuals and families. |
 Everyone gets
an opportunity to help with preparation or working on the serving
line. After everyone has been served, the dishes are done and the
kitchen and dining hall are cleaned. Usually everything is
completed by 7:30 PM. |
This event is an ideal opportunity to serve others in
need and share in Christian fellowship at the same time.
On some occasions there's time to stop working long enough for a group photo. |
