Thank you for attending the Banquet of Honor

November 17th, 2023

Luke 14:23 - “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.”

Psalm 119:103

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thank you for attending our Banquet of Honor! We hope you had an unforgettable life changing night!

This was our 9th annual at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel. 132 guests enjoyed a free 50$ meal payed forward by someone else to show a glimpse of the extravagant grace of God who gives us all things by faith in Jesus Christ. We learned that humility is the pathway to honor and by humbly confessing our need for a savior we open the door to being exalted to a place of honor in Gods kingdom. By simply receiving God’s free gift in Christ by faith we enjoy eternal life with Him.

176 meals were served including our table ministers, some of which gave up their meal to let more people come in! Many people got a break from the cold, a break from homelessness and enjoyed an evening unlike anything they ever have before. Many needed a reminder that they are valuable and worthy of love and compassion. The children had a mini banquet upstairs and learned the bee-attitudes! The most talented Robert Sampson gave us live music. 5 artists painted and gave away paintings and prophetic words of encouragement. With over 70 volunteers we believe every heart was touched with friendship, conversation, prayers, messages of hope and love and various gifts. The theme was bees and honey and everyone left with local honey to keep their immune systems boosted and spirits high. We learned about the sweetness of God’s word and the Humble bee who shares the sweetness and pollen of the cross everywhere.
