LOAVES & FISHES AT BROOKLYN UMC

Brooklyn UMC is proud to host Loaves and Fishes, providing nourishing meals to our community three times a week. We serve curbside meals on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from Noon to 1:00 PM.

Simply drive or walk up to the single door facing the east side of our parking lot, and our volunteers will be ready to assist you. Mateo is the on-site coordinator and will be there to ensure everything runs smoothly. We look forward to serving you!

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

Our dedicated crafters create prayer shawls and lapghans, each stitch infused with prayers for comfort, healing, and peace. These tangible symbols of love and faith are then given to individuals facing various challenges or celebrating milestones, offering a warm embrace and a reminder that they are surrounded by our church's prayers.

If you're interested in using your talents to bring comfort to others, or if you know someone who could benefit from a prayer shawl, please reach out! This ministry is a wonderful way to serve and connect within our community.
