God Loves Foodies, Too

by | 65 comments

trifle

My friend, Reverend Michael Blewett, is not only the pastor of Christ Episcopal Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but he’s also one of those crazed foodies-the kind that orders spices and kitchenware from elite stores. He can distinguish between types of black peppers, flavors salts, cuts of meat, densities of fats, and much, much more. Michael is kind of a foodie super hero to me.

But Michael doesn’t leave his passion for food at home-he carries it into the church and community. On Wednesday nights, Christ Episcopal Church serves the hungry. But don’t expect mystery casserole or save-the-scraps soup. Instead, the church, serves home-cooked, made-from-scratch, gourmet-style meals to the community.

When interviewed about his approach, Michael says, “My philosophy was not to skimp on anything. We’re not going to buy the half-rotten meat and try to make it taste good.”

Instead, they serve colorful chopped vegetables, high-end chilis, and tasty soup. The food is good, nutritional, and fresh. And the message that’s invariably communicated to those who eat is that you, too, have value as a child of God, loved by God.

What I love most about Michael’s approach is that he communicates God’s love through the quality of the food that’s served.

Do you have any stories of someone in your community who is making a difference by taking a fresh approach to service and ministry? If so, I’d love to hear from you!

    I’m a huge fan of Michael Blewett (read one of his books and noted a date when he is coming near Chicago to speak) and I love that he does this! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
