What does apartment ministry look like around Thanksgiving?
- A church providing twenty-eight uncooked Thanksgiving meals to families in a small but full apartment community that often goes overlooked
- A staff member at an apartment community remembering a local church’s offer to serve residents and asking for help for seven families in need of extra support and then the church IMMEDIATELY making that support happen
- A father asking for prayer because a relative recently passed away
- A Thanksgiving market set-up in the fitness center of an apartment community where residents shop for a full meal and choose the veggies and desserts their families enjoy (forget meals in cardboard boxes!)
- A young family of four venturing out of their apartment and meeting neighbors for the first time
- A single man agreeing to join a Bible study that was already happening on property
- Thirty-nine turkeys bought by donors who will never meet the apartment residents they are giving to, but decide to give anyway
Or as one apartment resident overcome with emotion at the thought of strangers taking the time to listen to a part of her story and provide a meal for her family stated, “It’s not about the turkeys, is it?”
No, Jessie, it’s not.
