Several people from church began serving meals to people in the community. They
enjoyed cooking for other people. At first there were some people in church who did not
understand what they were trying to accomplish. Feeding people who were not part of
their church seemed like a large, additional expense. The chair of the finance committee
frankly told them that the church could not support such an endeavor on any regular
basis. Another person suggested that they prepare meals for the members of the church.
Someone else added that they should charge the people to help offset the cost.
