“You feed them.” ~Jesus
At Mt. Olivet, we are following these words. Jesus fed people with good nutrition when he multiplied the loaves and the fishes for the thousands. Jesus also fed folks by healing from sickness, offering acceptance into community, showing compassion and grace. At Mt. Olivet we strive to follow these examples from Jesus. We feed people to provide nutrition, compassion, acceptance, spiritual growth and love. Jesus said, “You feed them.” — so we do.
