? I - J , J Goler Soup Kitchen Completes Second Year December 1 marked the beginning the third year of operation of the Soup Kitchen at Goler Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church in Winston-Salem. On Dec. 1, 1992, the doors of this feeding and counseling ministry' opened at 11:00 a.m. The menu consisted of creamed turkey or : fried chicken, pinto beans, cole slaw, rolls, kool-aid and cake. The weather was clear and some ;what cold. The chief cook and jkitchen helpers were Elsie Burke and Barbara DuBose respectively. ?.Other helpers and assistants on ?that first day were Catherine ?McCloud, Flora Massey, Leon Coleman, William Mclver, Faye Cannady, James Anderson, ( Franklin Stowe and Alvin Can- j '/nady. We served 39 persons. As the diners arrived they 'iwere cordially greeted and invited Ao join us in worship. Their Tiameraiid pliiuie numbers Were ?listed and some expressed an interest in attending services on Sundays, some with the potential for joining in membership. > As the saying goes, a lot of water has passed under the bridge since that day. The number of persons served on a given day has been as high as 120. The average over the two years has been around 75 persons per day. The kitchen operates Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This computes to about 30,000 meals over the two year period. The pastor and the Goler church family are proud of this record, but moreover, we are proud of this ministry. The Soup Kitchen Ministry is , an outgrowth of the vision and desire of Goler 's dynamic pastor, Seth O. Lartey. It was a vision tci see the need and the desire to do something about it. The opera tions of the program were set up around a board of directors and a kitchen and dining room staff of volunteers. Funding for this pro gram is through contributions of the Goler church family and friends. On occasions, financial and material gifts have been given by sister churches, organi zations and individuals. The Soup Kitchen receives no support from federal, state or local agencies. In conjunction with the feed ing program, assistance to the needy is provided through coun-* seling, job procurement, and Christian witnessing. Over the past two years, several persons have committed themselves to Christ and have come into /ull connection with the A.M.E. Zion Church and the Goler church family. For this, we are truly thankful. To further its call and com mitment, the Soup Kitchen min istry' from tiitfe to time, interacts with other similar groups such as Crisis Control, the Bethesda Cen ter, etc. In so doings our fellow ? ' i >Soup kitchen provides hot meals -hip is enhanced and our outreach is expanded. As we embark on our third > v ar. we pray for spiritual guid ance. that God will continue to Mess this ministry to continue to tv n hlcsMng to others.. ? . .. : . ? '? ' . ' ?
