Every Saturday at 6:00 p.m., the 16 Cents Ministry meets under the bridge at 300 Spring Garden Street. The ministry is an outreach to Greensboro's homeless community, many of whom stay not too far from this meeting space. Attendees get a free meal and sometimes clothing and toiletries. Attendance is growing and, according to their website, the ministry reports 250+people taking advantage of the message and the meals. The above photo was taken just as people were starting to arrive to set up. By the end of the service, the space was packed.
The ministry under the bridge first began on September 15, 2012. The 16 Cents Church could use many items and, on their website, have published their wish list, which includes items at all price points. Stop on by and hear the message of Rev. Kevin Carter and his assistants. Likely, you and your faith group will be inspired to donate something.
Powerful.
