FOCUS Minnesota will launch its ministry by hosting a free meal from 6:00 – 8:30 pm at St. Paul Fellowship Church on Wednesday, June 30.

“All FOCUS ministries are about serving others, plain and simple,” said FOCUS Minnesota director Vera Proctor. “The meal is representative of what we will continue to do as our ministry develops: give to anyone in need out of love.”

Proctor added that this meal will be the first of many in the area. She hopes to develop more partnerships with other Christian organizations like St. Paul Fellowship Church and to eventually find a location to transform into a permanent home for FOCUS Minnesota.

Proctor stressed that the meal is a “pan-Orthodox” effort, meaning that Eastern Orthodox Christians from all the Orthodox jurisdictions in the Twin Cities – Greek, Romanian, Russian, and others – are assisting in the effort.

St. Paul Fellowship Church is located at 868 Sherburne Ave., St. Paul, MN, 55104.
