The image of the table – the altar table with bread and wine – the table with abundant food that satisfies the tastes of all people – the table is a symbol of invitation and welcome.

Jesus invited his disciples to sit at table with him to eat the last supper. He created a “table” of abundant food as he took loaves and fishes to feed over 5000 people. He told the parable of the banquet feast to which the poor, crippled, blind, lame, and all who would come were invited until the house would be full (Luke 15:1-24). Please help us in sharing a meal, an invitation and a welcome to all God's children with abundance... ELCA Resources

Things you should know about domestic violence:

Often churches fail to be a safe place for victims of domestic violence. Some people believe a Christian man would never abuse his wife. Some believe it is not abuse, but justified discipline which he can exercise as the ‘head of the household.’ Some people believe that “what goes on inside their house is their business.” There are Christian men who abuse their wives. Maybe it is the one with the beautiful tenor voice who sits behind you every Sunday or the one assisting with communion. Maybe it is the pastor or the pastor’s spouse. Usually it is someone we would never think would do it. Often, it is someone who is charming, appears to be a good husband and who is very involved in the church. In addition, at times men can be abused by their spouses as well. Your church can choose to be one that will help. It may save a life.Call Laura Sanchez at Bridge of Peace, 856-365-1450, if you would like help or your congregation would like to learn more about domestic violence and what you can do. A loving faith community offers hope.

Bridge of Peace received two awards in November of 2010. Bridge of Peace was honored with the 2010 Community Spirit Award by the Women of Color Task Force in recognition of our work to end domestic violence in communities of color in New Jersey. In addition, we received the Public Safety Award from the Camden District Council Collaboration Board for our work in support of improving public safety and the quality of life in the City of Camden. As we received these awards we understand that we are blessed to continue to tend and feed the Lord’s sheep in our community physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
