Bristol Lodge Food Kitchen

Join us as we reach out to those in need right here in our area by preparing and serving a meal in Waltham. Upcoming dates for this service work are available on Mission Bulletin Board near church office

Did you give some thought to volunteering for this vital outreach program?  Your help is still needed, whether it is for one month or all 10 months.  If you cannot prepare, deliver or serve the hot meal (cost from $18-$28), you can be of help by giving money toward the monthly purchase of the salad ingredients and beverages.  The monthly cost is about $25, but any amount is appreciated.  By donating to this "Green for Greens Fund," you will be serving hungry neighbors.  Please sign up on the Mission bulletin board (outside the church office), take a recipe and see Cynthia Lasker with donations.  Thank you!

The Bristol Lodge Food Kitchen serves a hot meal every day to about 75-85 men and women at a church in Waltham. A few of these people are homeless but most of them are just seeking ways to survive on their meager incomes. All of the guests are very grateful for the nourishing food and the hour of fellowship. We cook a meal once a month, usually consisting of a one-dish casserole, a tossed salad or vegetable and dinner rolls. We also provide beverages (no desserts). Menus are posted on the Mission and Outreach bulletin board outside the church office. Each person buys the ingredients to serve 12 people, prepares the meal at home, and either delivers it to the Waltham church or has another person deliver it. You can prepare the entire menu for 12 or just part of the menu. Expenses for the entire dinner range from $25-35. You are welcome to stay to serve the meal. You may also donate cash toward the beverage expenses.
Please see the bulletin board for recipes and in order to sign up to cook—for one month or for more. This is an easy, congenial and rewarding way to assist our neighbors in need. Please consider volunteering for this outreach opportunity.

BRISTOL LODGE MEALS & THE CHURCH SCHOOL
The youth in the teen class of God’s Garden are scheduled to prepare the Bristol Lodge meal monthly for the upcoming school year. This mission activity is one of many that is planned for our youth. If you like to cook and would like to help prepare a meal during church school on a Sunday, please sign up with the Director of the Christian Education program.
