FREE FOOD, FRIENDSHIP, AND FAITH-WEEK FIVE (7-18-24)

Created: Jul 24, 2024

Despite perfect weather conditions, we only served a handful more people this week than our previous week.

Our most interesting encounter was a Protestant pastor. He had two children with him and picked out a Bible and a children's book (written by either Fr Winkler or Fr Lovasik) from the table.   The pastor said he had attended a few Masses in the past. Phil encouraged him to return next week for an answer to a question that he asked Phil.

We also had three very well behaved children stop by unaccompanied by an adult.  The oldest overheard Phil giving out a food pack (containing 5 dehydrated meals that could serve up to 6 people) and inquired if there was one that he could also take home.  Sharon handed a box to him also.

How fortunate that Sharon helped pack these boxes (originally she had seven) and realized our FFF&F event might be a good place to give them to people who mentioned gratitude for a free meal and our evangelists discerned  further assistance for the family might be appreciated.

Next week is our last week for Free Food, Friendship and Faith.  Will be break our season high record of 43 diners or even our all time record of approximately 70?
