Good morning dear friends at St. Thomas! The Daughters of the King is about reinstitute a service project and we need your help. Some of you have already participated in this project, and realize its great value, but others may need more information...As with any community, we often have parishioners at St. Thomas who are ill or recently released from the hospital, or have suffered a loss and are in the midst of deep grief. We would like to offer our love and support to these parishioners by providing meals for them. If you have ever had a loved one in the hospital or recovering from surgery you know how wonderful it is to have meals provided for you so that you don’t have to cook. And if you have ever lost someone you love, you know that food can be a great comfort at such difficult times. It is one way we can show our love.
The Daughters of the King will be coordinating this project, called Angel Delivery, to provide these meals. We will develop a list of people willing to provide meals, and then when someone needs this service, Stephen will notify me and the Daughters of the King will coordinate the delivery of meals. We will contact each person who is part of the team and determine when they can provide the meal. It could be a home cooked meal, or a meal that you purchase. We realize that every member of the Angel Delivery team will not be able to provide a meal every time they are called. Our hope is that we will have enough people on the list so that the responsibilities are spread among a number of people and this will not be a burden on a few.
Sooooo….if you are interested in providing a meal occasionally for a person in need, please email me, Lynne McLean, at lynnie0201@sbcglobal.net. And the Daughters of the King will take care of the rest. We will contact you when you and your meals are needed.
Many thanks for your support of this important project that will help us to show our love and support for our fellow parishioners…when words fail us in times of crisis, food always works!
For his sake,
Lynne McLean
I rather like Lynne’s last line: “when words fail us in times of crisis, food always works!” Jesus apparently thought the same way Lynne does when he gave us the Eucharist, bread and wine, food and drink, for all the times of our lives. Thanks to the members of the Daughters of the King for organizing Angel Delivery at St. Thomas the Apostle. I can imagine some of our former members, now in the Presence of God, rejoicing that we are renewing this program…and wondering why it has taken us so long! Even in the Presence of God, some people never change! Please let Lynne know if will assist in this Angel Delivery.
