We met today after our final preview service to go serve our local community a free lunch. Over 200 bottles of water, 15 12 packs of pop, about 150 bags of chips, and a ton of hot dogs and hamburger were served. We anticipate about 250 people were served at Mega Supermarket off Nebraska - north of Martin Luther King.
We met Chuck - a former southern gospel singer. Eric and Samuel, two new attenders jumped right in and showed they have a real gift for evangelism and encouragement.
So many hands were shook. I must have introduced myself a hundred times.
What is "Lunch on Us?" we partner with local businesses or apartment complexes and to provide lunch for them. This provides us a chance to prove trustworthy with our business owners and engage our community in a neutral format.
Obviously most people are shocked when you give them something that is truly free. We had a few lines for quite sometime and many people got to hear about Common Ground. There was a promotional piece int he bag about us.
It was a great time. Thank you to our Nolan English for lining this up and connecting us with Mega Supermarket.
