Missions Meals

In October 2010, Commons Church began a monthly tradition called “Mission Meal.”  On Mission Meal Sunday, one of our church members hosts everyone at their home for a simple meal, but we all donate money as though we’d gone out to lunch.  The money is collected and given toward a local mission project.  

During this first year together, a majority of our Mission Meal money has gone to projects at Cornerstone Assistance Network.  At Thanksgiving, we provided meal baskets for five families enrolled in Cornerstone programs.  At Christmas, we adopted and purchased gifts for children whose parents are part of Cornerstone’s housing programs for the homeless.  And, in the Spring of 2011, we used Mission Meal money to purchase a bed for a formerly homeless graduate of Cornerstone’s Christian Women’s Job Corps.
