The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
Jesus also told us in Matthew 25:35 - 40:
35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Knowing what Jesus commands, and that the the need for helping to feed the hungry is more urgent than ever in these times,I am leading a small group at Grace Lutheran Church. The group meets weekly at the Idaho Foodbank located on 555 South First Street in Pocatello. I have committed to the FoodBank to be there every Friday thru April. If the it works out well, we may continue beyond that.
There are four paid employees at the Foodbank but much of what is accomplished there depends on volunteers. Each Friday from 1-3, a team from our church will dedicate a couple of hours working on projects prepared for us by the director of the foodbank. Via this blog, I will chronicle our weekly progress and share a bit about the work of the Idaho foodbank.
If you are interested in joining us, just come. If you need more information, call Grace Lutheran Church at
