The above photo is of the praise band that played last night at the meeting of the Church Under the Bridge at 300 Spring Garden Street. The 16 Cents Ministry sees to it that every week at 6pm, Under the Bridge, there is worship through music and prayer. Additionally, a hot meal is served, and other items are distributed. Everyone is welcome and it is not uncommon for 250 people to attend. Last night, the weather was nice, the music was inspirational, and the meal looked delicious. It seemed like everyone was enjoying this time together with food and music. Perhaps the homeless in attendance could put in the back of their mind, for this one hour, the stress of being in an insecure living situation. Perhaps, if the recent rains flooded out their tents, someone helped find some dry clothes.
It is really nice to know that those religious organizations that are in a position to do so are helping with this initiative. Here is the wish list of the 16 Cents Ministry. If you belong to a group that is able to help, or if you can yourself, Church Under the Bridge is money and effort well spent. The money, time, effort, and other resources are put to use directly in our community. We encourage you on a Saturday, at 6:00 pm (or a little earlier) to head downtown and see for yourself, just how beneficial this mission is to the community. You event is well organized and will help you see, firsthand, just how much work there is to be done, right here in our own community.
