Manna Ministry
The Manna Ministry has been established to show love and encouragement through the provision of food. We will strive to support and uplift brothers & sisters in times of sadness and joy, in times of loss and accomplishment.
Whenever an opportunity presents itself we will seek to show God’s love through the blessing of fellowship, meals, treats and other goodies. Hebrews 13:2 says, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”
