SUMMARY:First Sundays, Second Helping
DESCRIPTION:On the first Sunday of each month, here at Second Baptist, we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. Like most modern churches, our observance has a vital spiritual function as the morsel of bread and small cup of juice represent Christ’s body and blood. In the early church, however, the Lord’s Supper was observed as the main meal at the end of the day, and it served both practical and spiritual purposes. While participants were spiritually sharing in the death and resurrection of Christ, they were also practically sharing an actual meal at the community table, where those with more resources shared their food with those in need.\nOn Lord’s Supper Sundays, we want to recapture the communal and charitable emphasis of the early church through a practice we are calling “First Sundays, Second Helping.” On the first Sunday of each month, when we take Communion, we invite everyone to donate food items for our Loaves & Fishes food distribution program to help our neighbors in need.\nOn First Sundays, please place your donations in the designated containers in the Church Commons.\nHere are the most helpful food items:\n\nFull-sized grocery bags\nCanned or pouched tuna/chicken\nJars of peanut butter, 16 oz. or less preferred\nCanned green vegetables\nCanned corn\nCanned beans\nPacks of Ramen Noodles\nPacks of single-serve apple sauce\nPacks of single-serve fruit cups\nBoxes or bags of rice\nBoxes of pasta, spaghetti, or macaroni and cheese\nCans of pasta or spaghetti sauce\n\nLoaves & Fishes Food Distribution. In coordination with the Clothes Closet Mission Ministry, our food pantry doors are open to the community at large every second and fourth Friday of the month from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering to help with food distribution on Fridays, please contact lay leader Marilyn Herold at harktheherald66@comcast.net or Minister of Discipleship & Missions, Rev. Tom Mitchell at tmitchell@secondbaptistrva.org.\n\n
