Annual Easter Brunch for the Homeless - with a twist

***NEW location due to Court House Square remodel***

As is our Easter tradition, SOMA Church Community is going to provide a special, home cooked Easter brunch for our homeless friends on the street in Santa Rosa. Every year MANY guests comment that this is the best meal they eat all year and it is because our people make it and serve it with LOVE.

We will meet first from 9:30am-10:30am for our Easter Worship Service at Kid Street. Then following the worship service we will finish our set-up and begin serving brunch for our guests in the parking lot at Kid Street from 11am-12pm.

+ We need people to carve the hams
+ We need people to cut fruit for the massive fresh fruit salad
+ We need people to make the green salad, finish the macaroni salad & make orange juice
+ We need a team of people to serve food in the buffet line

We need the following items:

--200 hard boiled eggs for eating and decoration (preferable dyed)
--Homemade muffins. (200 will be needed, we prefer home baked, mix or scratch, and not store bought)

If you want to volunteer for a specific job or to bring food please email Kristen Ortlinghaus at kristen (at) somachurch (dot) us or post in the Facebook event.

Because this event is large and we need many volunteers please RSVP as soon as you know you are coming so we can plan accordingly. Let's show Jesus love in a practical way!

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’…. ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,you did it to me.’ Jesus in Matthew 25: 35, 36, 40
