Cultura Book Club meets at Grace Place
Cultura Book Club held the November meeting at Grace Place Ministries, Inc., at 1600 Jackson St. in Monroe. Kitty Liner introduced Rhonda Grace, director and founder of Grace Place, who spoke on her goals to help poor and hurting people.
Grace Place Ministries is a faith-based organization which operates through the help of volunteers. The soup kitchen officially opened at the present location on Christmas Day, 2006.
Now the ministry feeds the poor on Mondays and has special meals for them on the day before Thanksgiving and on Christmas Day.
There are also clothes available for those in need. Bible studies and programs for children are an ongoing part of Grace Ministries. Rhonda Grace stressed the need for more volunteers and for donations of food, clothes and household items.
Sue Drewett, Cultura president, opened the business session with the poem of the month, "There Once Was a Puffin," read by Jean Halsell. In response to Grace's inspirational talk and example, Annette Bedgood made the motion and the club voted to adopt a family for Christmas from Grace Place's needy family list.
Reports on club projects were given by Julia Sers and Pat Funderburk. Twenty members were in attendance. Hostesses were Annette Bedgood, Betty Stimac, and Edwina Welch.
Club members brought their Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes filled with gifts. The boxes were taken to Fair Park Baptist Church, West Monroe, the local collection point before they are shipped to children in war-torn and poverty-stricken countries.
The next meeting will be a Christmas luncheon at Squire Creek Country Club. |
