| In March 2003, the Solid Rock Circle began to feed women
at the Mt. Carmel House, a residence for displaced/recovering women.
Each fourth Saturday of the month, the twenty or more housed women
under a two-year program are provided with a complete full course home-cooked
meal. After the residents are fed, an invitation to other persons desiring
a meal is extended. Often persons line the streets, as many as forty
to sixty persons looking to be fed.
Members of the ministry use their own personal funds
to buy the food, believing that the Spirit of the Lord is moving within
them and therefore, they share what God has blessed them with. They
share not only food, but their talents, and most of all, their love
of God and His people. They provide an outlet for concerns to be voiced
by the residents of Mt. Carmel House and have come to trust ministry
members enough to readily receive hugs. In return for the food and
fellowship, the residents participate by assisting in the cleaning
of the kitchen.
