Community Practices

F.A.R.M. Cafe (Feed All Regardless of Means) with Tommy Brown

Feed All Regardless of Means - The Story of a Community Cafe Each weekday a great lunch is prepared that is available to everybody regardless of their ability to pay. At common tables and lunch counters persons who are food insecure including the homeless, mentally ill, and working poor sit with and share a meal and conversation with persons who are students, lawyers, business owners, retirees, and resort area tourists. By simply removing the economic barrier that generally isolates and segregates us, F.A.R.M. Cafe is not only fighting food insecurity but also expressing church beyond barriers and walls. 

Faithful Presence with Anthony Smith

What does it look like to practice faithful presence outside the walls of the church? In this session Anthony looks at theology that would have us practice faithful presence in places that need healing and ministry. How can communities of faith discern together what their presence in the community looks like? Through stories, examples, theological reflection, from his experiences with his church community at Mission House, Anthony will help guide you toward what faithful presence looks like for you in your context.
