How You Can Join Us In Ministry
For Lamb's Lunch - Served on Saturdays at noon, with doors opening at 10 a.m., and food prep starting as early as 8 a.m, this is an opportunity to help cook and serve a no-cost lunch to our low income or homeless guests. Here also is a great opening to share your walk with Christ, pray for individual needs, and build new friendships while serving food and the Lord!
For the Lamb's Cafe - Reach out to the Boulder community by offering a steaming hot cup of coffee and a fresh bagel. Open Thursday at 8 a.m., with food prep starting as early as 6:00 a.m., this is a marvelous way for our participating churches to make new relationships. Each week the coffee "stirs" up more new friendships that grow in a special and exciting way. We pray for those in need, who sense God's presence here each time they come.

- October 2022: Our 2022/23 season is beginning and we will be continuing run in our modified form of hot, to-go meals (and often sack lunches too). Our Saturday lunches ended in early-April without the Footwash for another year, while our Thursday Cafes do continue thru the summer. We are hopeful that we can return to indoor, sit-down meals in the 2023/24 season.
- May 2022: With the pandemic still with us across both the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons we have been continuing run in our modified form. Our Saturday lunches ended in mid-April without the Footwash for another year, while our Thursday Cafes do continue. We continue to monitor the pandemic situation for the fall.
- November, 2020: Both the Cafe and Lunch are up and running again for another season, though in a modified form due to the continuing pandemic. We have been serving coffee and snacks with the Deacon's Closet on Thursday morning across the street at the Annex. We are now serving a hot, to-go lunch on Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to noon, and will shortly be starting to serve a hot, to-go breakfast on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., both in the church's North Courtyard.
- May, 2020: Our host church, First Presbyterian Church, where all of our activities occur is now Grace Commons Church. Same church, same mission, same values, but a new name.
