Cross Word Christian Church is pleased to announce it is officially relaunching the community outreach ministry: Bread of Life. This coming Saturday, December 20, 2014 from 10am to 12:30pm, members of the community can come by the church to receive a hot meal and box of food items for Christmas. There is no charge to participate. This day of celebration will be festive and the volunteers look forward to serving those who participate in this event.
On January 10, 2015, in addition to a bi-monthly feeding, Bread of Life will open its clothes closet for those in need of garments. Individuals and families will be able to ‘shop’ through these gently used items on a first come, first serve basis (a limit of 3 garments per person). There will be no charge for the items received.
“Cross Word Christian Church is grateful to be able to give hope to those in need. Every life matters and we want to do what we can to let others know that someone cares,” said Bishop Sykes, Lead Pastor. The operation of the Bread of Life Outreach is biblical and the many volunteers are blessed in serving those who need clothing and food (Matthew 25:35-36a).
Donations of non-perishable food items and personal care items are welcome. Cross Word Christian Church is located at 21401 Box Springs Road, Moreno Valley, 92557 (between Day Street and Fair Isle Drive off the 60 freeway). For directions visit: www.crosswordchurch.org.
