Breakfast for the body & SOul
Have you ever wondered how it would feel to work alongside Jesus? To look into his face and see his eyes brimming with gratitude and pride for you? This is the very feeling we are blessed with each day as the dining room fills with the most diverse array of Inasmuch family and volunteers. Every age, from all walks of life ...each with a story and need to serve or be served with dignity.
In just three months FAOIAM has grown to almost physical capacity but our spiritual capacity is limitless as is the awesome need for love, help and a new start.
There are now over 50 teams of enthusiastic volunteers committed to serving breakfast on a bimonthly rotation. The teams are filled with loving people from churches, Sunday school classes, civic and local businesses.
But, the Inasmuch breakfast wouldn’t exist without the faithful volunteer cooks & kitchen crew who arrive early each morning. Ray & Sandy Miller, Alan Broadwell, Julia Rzonca, Willie Walker, James Jones, Dick Fradenburg, Erin Garcia, Dave Barkman, Bryant Holmes, Laura Burkhart, William Gavin, Tischa Eddy and Wayne Byrd can tell you how it actually feels to work with Jesus. As they cook, clean and serve, their hands truly become the hands of Christ reaching out to those entrusted to our care.
honor....never forgotten
The gray and rainy weather on November 11th Veteran’s Day 2009, added a solemn backdrop for our nation’s flag to be raised on it’s first day of being flown over Fayetteville Area Operation Inasmuch.
It will forever remind those who travel this way of the valor and sacrifice made by all who have served this incredible nation of freedom. Among our Inasmuch family are veterans who wear a badge of honor for their military service to our beloved United States Of America.
The national anthem was poignantly trumpeted by Geron Gambill as the flag ascended proudly over Hillsboro Street in the chilly winds of autumn. Our gratitude to the American Legion, Hair-Matthews Auxiliary Unit #32, for the meaningful gifts of a flag pole, two American flags and a P.O.W. flag.
Our deep appreciation to the talented students of The Fayetteville Academy for the beautiful Veteran’s Day table decorations.
