FAIRMONT —
Morning Star Baptist Church is opening its doors, and hearts, to the hungry in the community.
A free dinner will be served to “anyone who would like to have a meal,” said Pastor Wesley Q. Dobbs, from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the 100 McKinney St. church.
“We wanted to do more to reach the community. We have the Soup Opera and the Union Mission (to feed the hungry), but some people — for whatever reason — don’t go there.
“There are no restrictions at our dinner. Come, get a meal and get a little bit of the Word. And if not, that’s OK, too.”
This is another project to become a community-based church, he said.
“And this is a good start. We’re already out in the community with our Teen Summit. God is blessing us. This is a good way to reach people, other than just being in the pulpit every Sunday morning.”
