The Neighborhood Breakfast at St. Paul's was a success at our new location, Zion UCC Church. Our parish nurse Jacqui was in to check on our friends and the Northampton Teachers Grp who were my volunteers today, always go above and beyond. Please continue to pray and support this mission so that it can continue to BE a success in the future! To Pastor Bob Stevens of Zion - thank you. BLESSINGS, Iris 💜

Here at The Dime Restaurant with Pastor Steve Shusett picking up breakfast for the needy. Might as well go out with a BANG, right? :D

Well, tomorrow will be an extremely emotional day for me as it will be the very last breakfast that we will serve at St. Paul's. It won't be how I had planned as far as preparing with our own hands, but at least there will be a good hot meal waiting for them. Except for my homemade grits. (Boy am I gonna get some flack for that one 😮) LOL. I want to thank everyone who have supported this mission over the years. Most importantly to the members of St. Paul's who saw the need front and center 30+ yrs ago. The LOVE and COMMITMENT and SPIRIT that the members gave was surely passed on to me when I took over the breakfast mission. That spirit will now continue at Zion "The Liberty Bell" church right on Hamilton St. So please continue to support this mission as it is so needed in this community. For those in need, the working poor. For all! Iris

Girl Power! These women right here we're my rock today. They not only helped prep and serve breakfast to 100 souls but, let me tell you, these women went above and beyond in helping me clean out some trash that needed to be done for our pending move. I love them and for 2 of the ladies, it was there first time here. Not from the area either. Awesome! "Small women with the power of the Church behind us." - Missy Quilty (volunteer 2nd from the left)

This is the youth group of First Presbyterian in Allentown led by their leader, Eric - 2nd from the right. Great team and love this photo.

A heartfelt thank you to the anonymous donor who sponsored today's breakfast. And also to my team - St. Timothy's for being here super early to prepare a super duper breakfast! Blessings!

Please read to the end. Thank you God and to the anonymous person who made this happen. God bless you. Whoever you are. 💜

Another beautiful day in the eyes of the Lord at our morning service but it also had a heavy heart feel with not a goodbye but a thank you, good luck and god speed to our own Jenny Schiffer Matos who has been our church secretary and much much more for many years. We wish her all the best in her new endeavor and she will be missed by all.. members and visitors shared fellowship, laughs and tears with Jenny.. sandwiches, fruit and cake was a nice touch provided by our members . We also wished our oldest member and very own acolyte Kathryn a happy happy birthday.

The Caring Kids Club at the Northampton Middle School made approximately 100 snack bags for the less fortunate and those in need. Thank you to the Northampton Teachers group (part of the team in the background) for having the kids put together these snacks that is, at times, needed where there is nothing available or no place to eat. Blessings to you all! Thank you. :)

Today is Maundy Thursday. The Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. We invite you to join us at 7:30pm tonight for the service of Holy Communion. All are welcomed. :)

St. Paul's will be having Maundy Thursday services of Holy Communion at 7:30 pm this Thursday, March 29th. It commemorates Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples. Maundy Thursday derived from the Latin word "mandatum", which means a commandment. "A new commandment I give to you: Love one another as have I loved you, so you should also love one another.... John 13:34.

Today, since we had extra palms left after the service, we thought it would be nice to go out for a walk and hand them out to folks walking by. A beautiful way to spread peace. ✝

"The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!". "Blessed his he who comes in the name of the Lord!". "Blessed is the king of Israel!". John 12:12-19 Come and rejoice with us on Palm Sunday, March 25th at St. Paul's. Services begin at 9:30 am. Blessings to all! ✝

Amen!

Thanks to the new Wawa at Cedar Crest for the boatload of food they donated to Crossroads!

Come join us on Christmas Eve.
