Hot meal programs for homeless are stretched thin in East Cleveland

If you're hungry or homeless in East Cleveland, finding a free hot supper on a cold night isn't easy, especially at the beginning of the month.

"If it's the beginning of the month, you either go hungry or you have to travel," said Brian Davis, director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.

Davis said the end-of-the-month meal schedules evolved years ago to serve poor people running short on their monthly allotments of food stamps. But today, he said, poverty is much more pervasive, especially in places like East Cleveland.

Next Week: NOOMA Breathe... Do you breathe?

*TIME CHANGE* By popular demand, our Young Adults Study has moved to 10:00 am before worship in the Library. See you Sunday!

Breathe | 014 Rob Bell

With everything that we've got going on every day, how many of us ever think about our breathing, about the meaning of breathing? Yet, for thousands of years, people have understood that our physical breath is a picture of a deeper spiritual reality. In the Bible, the word for "breath" is the same as the word for "spirit." There's an inherent dilemma at the core of what makes us human. We've all been created in the image of God and possess immense power and strength. And at the same time, our lives are incredibly vulnerable and fragile. Maybe if we had more insight into the meaning of breathing, we would better understand how God created us as human beings.
