As we seek to serve “those in need” through Kitchen One for One, we have a unique opportunity to align our efforts with where God is already present, at work, and pouring out blessings.

By staying rooted in prayer, we can be sure that our efforts to serve others are actually established in God’s love and purposes.

Most of us, even those of us who identify as followers of Christ, tend to gravitate toward familiar faces and comfortable interactions and spaces in our daily lives. Yet, the story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 serves as what should be an overwhelming reminder of our calling to engage with those who are different, outcasted, and marginalized.

Our “neighbors” should be at the heart of everything we do here at Kitchen One for One… because our “neighbors” are at the heart of everything Jesus calls His followers to do.

…to serve effectively and sustainably, it's essential to establish and maintain healthy boundaries. Boundaries are crucial. Boundaries align with Christian principles.

At Kitchen One for One, our mission extends beyond feeding the hungry. It’s about embodying Christ's love and sharing it through the opportunities He gives us to be His hands and feet.

As we enter this third week of Advent, we reflect on the theme of joy. It's a time to celebrate the underlying joy that comes from our faith in Jesus Christ and to share that joy with those around us.

At Kitchen One for One, we’re blessed with the opportunity to share this peace with others, particularly with those who might not otherwise experience the peace, love, and joy this season is meant to bring. Our mission goes beyond providing meals; it’s about extending the peace and hope of Christ to those we serve.

As we enter the Advent season, it's a good time to reflect on our calling to serve within God’s Kingdom and support causes that promote God's agenda.

There’s a necessary connection between abiding in Christ and bearing the right kind of fruit.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your commitment to the Kitchen One for One mission. You are the backbone of this ministry, and your efforts are incredibly appreciated. We couldn’t do this without each and every one of you.

Whether we are in positions of power, or seemingly insignificant roles, our dedication to serving God and others can lead to extraordinary outcomes.

Our thankfulness can be a powerful witness to others, reflecting the light and love of Christ. Our service together is an opportunity to spread gratitude and inspire others to recognize God’s blessings.

As Christians, we’re called to reflect Christ in everything. This calling is especially relevant during culturally significant events like Halloween, where our actions and choices can either darken or illuminate the love and truth of Jesus.

They were loyal, faithful, committed, true, devout, dedicated, steadfast, fond of, loving toward God and others.

By understanding where people are coming from, we can better serve them and demonstrate the unconditional love of Christ.

As we do our part, we can trust the Lord to do His… generously giving blessings to all.

Loving others because they bear the image of God should be evident in our daily lives. Practically, it means treating people with kindness, patience, and respect, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our love should not be limited to those who are easy to love but be extended to the marginalized, the difficult, and even our enemies.

...take what Jesus has given you and go love some WHOSOEVERs.

As we serve others, it’s helpful to be reminded that we’re following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ Himself.
