 For the first time, those who did not have a place to go for Valentine's Day were welcomed to Calvary Chapel in Bemidji for a community meal. The fellowship hall of the church was decorated with hearts and balloons to welcome their guests. Members of the church's congregation prepared a full spaghetti meal along with a variety of desserts. This is the third community meal the church has held and the church uses these meals as a way to connect with people in the community. For us it's the motivation that God loved us first therefore we're showing love and so it's the love of Jesus Christ that we want to show we want to feed people we really want to do more than that we really want to love on them and connect with them and talk with people. Calvary Chapel plans to continue holding special community meals throughout the year. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
