New Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church

5 Stars for my Soul:) and for my 300^th Review.
Well I found out that this church serves a Thanksgiving meal the Saturday before the holiday for 200 homeless people. Now I’m not religious at all, I’m spiritual and I believe in action not a bunch of words on a Sunday morning in a building. So I convince my family to feed their souls and the homeless in Liberty City.
We show up and when I get out of the car. I hear a man’s voice say, hey! I look over and it’s an older man who’s well dressed with a Fedora hat on. He says, can I help you? I say I’m here to feed some people and my soul. He chuckles and introduces himself as Rev. Jones the pastor of the church. He escorts us in the church thru his office. We walk into the small church hall and he explains that they just had a funeral and they are feeding the guests and family. Without hesitating, my wife, my two kids, and my dad jump in and start helping. I’ve never been so proud of my family. We started cutting cakes, serving chicken, rice, rolls etc. There were about 60 people there. I met Mrs. Jones, their daughter Audrey Jones (who i work with) and her son. Just beautiful people. We finish feeding everyone and proceed to help cleaning up.
Audrey explains that we are going start making boxed dinners for the poor and they hand them out. She says they also provide encouraging words and prayer to each person who stops by. We start filling up the boxes with fried chicken, rice, green beans, stuffing, cranberry jelly, a roll, a slice or pie/​cake and a knife and fork. Everyone including members of the church chip in and we pump out about 140 boxes of food before we run out of chicken. The whole time I’m joking around with the church members and I show them how I can work and eat a whole cupcake in bite all at once LOL. Everyone is laughing and having a good time. We finish up and Rev. Jones and his wife come over, say a prayer and thank each of us for assisting. We give them a big hug and kiss. They then ask what are you guys gonna do now? I say with a straight face, well we just had the good so now it’s time for that bad… South Beach! Everyone starts laughing.
As I’m writing this, I would love to see Johnny and Blue do something next year with this church. We were there for two hours max and it felt great. We could donate more chicken so they don’t run out or just show up to pay it forward. Do something wonderful in your community Unilocalers because it feels good. Remember to tell Rev Jones that Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!
