Angel Food Ministries

I promised to return in a few weeks and I have returned. Like I said, there is a lot going on.

First: I made another trip out to see my mother in the Sacramento area. A year ago in the Healing God’s Way newsletter I shared that my mother has Alzheimer’s disease. I last visited her in May and I have noticed a continued decline in her condition in only these past five months. Her life is now reduced to eating and sleeping with only brief periods of wakefulness. Occasionally I see life in her eyes and some type of response but not nearly as much as I did last May. If you did not see that issue of the newsletter and would like to read the article I wrote, please send me an email. I will be more then happy to email you a copy of the article. There is a spiritual root to this terrible disease and people with the diagnoses of Alzheimer’s do not have to be doomed to a slow death like my mother is experiencing.

Second: Sphere of Faith Community Church has participated in a number of isolated social endeavors, but nothing that is large scale or on going. That is now changing. Please keep reading even if you do not live in the San Antonio area because what I am about to share is spreading all over the country. Earlier this month Sphere voted to become an Angel Food Ministries host church.

Angel Food Ministries partners with churches to provide food at a lower cost then you can get at your local grocery store. Each box of food costs $25, but the same amount of food if purchased at your local store would cost over $60. A menu is provided a head of time so you can decide if you want to purchase a box for that month. This is not a box of canned food supplied by the government, but chicken, pork, turkey, beef, frozen vegetables, complete dinners, and more. For instance last month people living in Texas would receive lasagna, mac and cheese, pizza, hash browns, ribeye steak, etc. This month the menu is totally different. The Angel Food Ministries web site posts the menu each month, and has a listing of all the host churches in the country. If there is a host church near you, you do not have to be a member of that church. Just contact them and let them know you want to buy a box (or more then one box) of food. If there is no host church in your area, why not share this ministry with your church and become a host church. It really is easy.

Until next time…
