Every Tuesday and Friday a group of adults who are experienc­ing early memory loss gather at the church for the Brain Fitness Club. One thing they have not forgotten is the sense of fulfillment and satisfac­tion that comes from serving others.

The Fitness Club provides activities to promote mental stimu­lation, such as music, art, reading, socialization, and light exercise. They have added filling Street Eats bags for the church to their activities.

Street Eats bags are an outreach ministry of this church. They provide members with a concrete way to serve when they come face-to-face with the hungry and the homeless. Every Sunday we have available Zip­lock bags filled with an assortment of nonperishable easy-to-eat food items (i.e. a small bottled drink, granola bar, cheese and crackers, small container of apple sauce). Members are encour­aged to take the bags and have them in their cars during the week to share with anyone they may meet who needs help.

This outreach ministry was begun because one member saw a need in the community and created a unique way to meet that need.
