This is what Monday Night Looks Like

Ok, so you have heard me go on about Monday night ministry at The Rock La Roca. Here are some pictures of it. It is a beuatiful, mad thing! This is a long post. But I hope you take a look and get a taste!


Leo, doing what else? Makin' coffee!!


John Owen, in the pantry (what he calls Bill and Barb's store). Empty shelves in the background! We really pound it out, y'all! Please contribute to our food pantry. Times are hard and people are hungry. I can vouch for them!



John Owen, with one of his best buds, Barb Demoline, the aforementioned Barb of Bill and Barb's store.


Bill MacDonald, of Bill and Barb fame, helping a friend.


One of our core commitments is to make things as nice and attractive as possible. Barb Demoline, Ruth Stewart, and Judy Lyon have gone to great lengths to clean clothes, create potential outfits, and set them out as nicely as possible.


Food boxes ready to go out! This is a labor of love! Bill MacDonald gets here about 11 a.m., goes to God's Pantry to get our food, then starts work on packing the boxes.


Kenny, chief cook and bottle washer; a guy from the neighborhood guy who looks to start a catering operation! and Sharon, a long time member who can flat out cook and is game for anything.


This one blows me away. Jenny and Gentry are new to our church. It's her birthday, and she wanted to come serve here before they went out!


Melissa, Joe Joe, and everybody's favorite baby, Kaitlyn!


The people!


Martina and Kenny in a conspiracy of service!


This may be my favorite image of the night! Judy Lyon. She is Bob's wife; he was my favorite seminary professor, and she was a "mother in Israel" to many of us. She cleans up and pretties the place up with some great place mats! One woman asked her if she could take some of the place mats home, because her place is dingy and could use some brightening up! Judy has know my boys from before they were born. What a place to be in ministry!



Ruth in the background. Michael Hughes, head dishwasher. His wife, Becca, is right behind him. They came to us because they heard about our crazy garden ministry. And now they feed people! Ha!
