Pastor's Corner The Rev. Dr. Joyce T. Morris What can one say about Zion that hasn't already been said? Lots and lots, as almost each day brings something new. In their zest and quest to heed the Gospel's call, Zion members have opened a Drop-in Center for the homeless, destitute and lonely of our city. |
||
| This center continues to
grow each time its doors are opened on Tuesdays and
Thursdays 2-4 p.m., and often Zion serves well over 100
people for their free Saturday night dinners. Not content
to do as most other sites (who usually serve once a
month), Zion serves this meal each and every week. The
meals usually consist of a main meat dish, potatoes or
macaroni dish, vegetable, salad, rolls and butter and
desert, as well as coffee, tea and cold drinks. Several
people toil most of Saturdays from about noon on to put
this meal on the tables, and then to clean up afterward.
Zion could not have done all this strictly on their own,
but through the generosity and guidance of the Cleveland
Food Bank and its staff. Each
and every person on Zion's roles have a part somewhere,
somehow in these endeavors-even shut-ins do such helps as
slicing up many many pounds of onions and various other
vegetables and fruits, or baking deserts and sending them
on to the kitchen.
