One Sunday morning over 20 years ago, Ruth Earn had been assigned to lock up the church after the regular Sunday morning social hour. All the congregants and visitors had left the building, Ruth locked the door and was walking to her car when she had an encounter with a stranger. The young lady was sitting on the ground leaning up against a tree and Ruth said hello to her. Ruth got to her car and felt God tapping her on the shoulder inviting her to “Go back!” Ruth did. Ruth asked the young woman if she was hungry and the reply was “Yes.” Ruth re-opened the church’s social hall and kitchen, but all she could find in the pantry was peanut butter and some bread. Ruth made her a peanut butter sandwich and gave her something to drink. The young lady was extremely grateful and moved on. This experience planted a seed within Ruth. The church began an outreach program for those who are hungry. Now, nearly 20 years later, over 8,000 meals a year are lovingly served. Clothing, food, toiletries and a sense of community are served every week. Recently, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis visited the program and his response was that this is one of the most comprehensive programs in Fort Lauderdale which serves those in need.
