Ladle Fellowship

Today, we received the following information regarding the memorial service for our Ladle guests who were killed in March. Please continue to pray for the families who have lost a son, father, and friend. "Nearly a month after their deaths at a homeless camp, the lives of Randy Ferris, Walter Jones, and Rodney Diffendal will be honored at an interfaith memorial service downtown. The three were killed March 15 while sleeping in their tents in the B Street tunnel at San Diego City College. This service is open to the public. Masks and social distancing are required." #ladlefellowship

Happy Resurrection Day, Ladle Family & Friends! #ladlefellowship #streetcornercare #easter

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. ...(Isaiah 53:5 NIV) Today, we remember Jesus’ death on the cross prayerfully and gratefully. We are also reminded that through Jesus, we have hope and light and the promise of eternity. Jesus, our words of gratitude and shouts of praise will never be enough to thank you, but we will spend our whole lives trying. Thank you for salvation and hope and forgiveness. Jesus, we love you.

This Hits Us Hard: Last week, a driver (possibly under the influence) plowed his car through a temporary homeless camp, blocks from our church. It was raining that evening; dozens were huddled in the tunnel that passes by SD City College. Killed in the crash were Rodney Diffendal, 40; Randy Ferris, 65; and Walter Jones, 61. Five others were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity, while another person declined medical treatment. Sadly, we know that 2 of the 3 who died were frequent Ladle guests. During our Ladle meal last Wednesday, we mourned and prayed with some of our Ladle guests who lost their friends in the accident. Please pray for the families who have lost a son, father, or friend. Our heart breaks for our community and we lift in prayer those who are injured. #ladlefellowship

Over the past 2 years, our Street Corner Care medical team has enjoyed this beautiful garden created by one of the participants in the Dreams for Change, Safe Parking program (SPP). It has been a blessing getting to know the gardener and watching the transformation of the garden through the seasons. One of our volunteers was even gifted flowers from the garden when our medical team last served! #ladlefellowship #streetcornercare #dreamsforchange

Last week, one of our Ladle guests came back after her meal to let us know how much she enjoys reading the scripture and devotionals she receives with her meal each week. Water had spilled on her devotion and it had fallen apart, so she had come back to ask for another to keep with her throughout the week. We thought we'd share this devotion that meant so much to our sweet Ladle guest with you. #ladlefellowship https://www.ladle2020.com/ https://ladlefellowship.org/

God blessed us with a wonderful Ladle day despite the extreme heat. Thank you to our amazing volunteers who passed out water bottles with ice water, hats, sunglasses, and sunblock. A big thank you to our kitchen crew for their dedication and delicious meals. M, one of our sweet senior guests was so happy after the meal that she came by and said, "Thank you! The chef makes a mean fried chicken!" We are thankful for our Ladle guests, who despite the heat and the obstacles of the day still came over to say thank you and brighten our day https://www.ladle2020.com/ #ladlefellowship

Our Street Corner Care medical team is a tremendous blessing!

Prolonged exposure to the heat and poor air quality from recent fires have taken a toll on the health of many of our vulnerable neighbors, so we were thankful to be able to give out ice-cold bottled water, hats, sunblock, bandanas, masks, and encouragement along with our Sunday meals. Please continue to pray for our Ladle guests as they do their best to persevere despite the difficulties they face daily. https://www.ladle2020.com/ #ladlefellowship
