Wednesday, April 29, 2015 DAVE BLANTON odave.kmherald@gmail.com It wasn’t many months back that husband and wife members of True Gospel Holiness Church, located on the Shelby Hwy., told other members of his church they felt they had a calling to do something helpful. The idea was to provide a free dinner to anyone who wanted it and to expand that service based on attendance as time went by. “They’ve put their heart and soul into this,” said Leann Chapman, the church’s pastor, referring to the project headed up by members Danielle and Mi- chael Miller. “Our church will rally around them and make it happen.” Starting June 6, a team of members will get together to prepare home-cooked meals for a 5 to 7 p.m. din- nertime. The plan now is to serve the free meal — which will consist of spaghetti and other dishes and “not just soup” every other Saturday. “Can do serve 100 peo- ple based on our estimates,” Danielle Miller said. “We’re just willing to serve and we’re passionate about making this happen. Our whole church is rallying.” Chapman emphasizes that the effort is for any- one who is less fortunate in these difficult times. “It’s not limited to just the homeless,” she said last week, adding that the church will provide free transportation to the meal. Chapman’s church has also put together a Relay for Life team to help raise money for cancer re- search. And organizers at the small church say they also aim to use their booth at Kings Mountain’s May 29 Relay for Life event to raise awareness about their local efforts to reach those who have been hit by hard times and just need a help- ing hand. “We're really grateful for the Millers, who have taken The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com Church to offer free meals to less fortunate Grouphomeless — Rick and Leann Chapman, at left, both # pastors at True Gospel Holiness Church, are joined by mem- bers Rick and Danielle Wilson, who spearheaded a free meals for the homeless project at the church. the reins on this,” Chapman said. “We're going to fully support them.” For more information IT'S THE MOMENTS THAT CHANGE LIVES.
