Neighborhood Kitchens - Wednesday Meal

In July we opened the kitchen for the community to come for free meals. We serve more than 800 meals during the month. We'll open the kitchen again starting in September, Wednesdays 5-7 pm.

Would you like to know more about the Neighborhood Kitchens Project? This is a partnership we're in with community schools (Union and TPS), local business people and organizations to help make the community a better place. For Garnett, we're partnering because we don't have the power or money to educate and serve like all these organizations do, so we humbly partner and make our facility available for this meal and as a path to people getting other educational, medical, social services to make their lives better. For us, we want to keep our church identity as serving in the name of Christ to make the neighborhood better, and we'll keep doing what we do best: being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Connected with the Wednesday Meal, we'll also be launching some new classes at 7 pm. One class we're developing is a Dollars&Sense class for children and their parents. Tulsa Teachers Credit Union is developing this class with us. We're also considering and developing a class for single parents, a contemplative prayer class, and a Christianity 101 class.

Also possible for Wednesday evenings during and after the meal, is a group of mentors who could organize tutoring for neighborhood children who need tutoring. Betty Haynie organizes a mentoring group at Cooper Elementary, but we're looking for others who want to organize another group of mentors to do tutoring on Wednesday nights.
