The Parking Lot Mission is a ministry that serves a diverse population of people in many ways every Saturday morning. Most of the people coming to the PLM are struggling financially and many are unable to work because of health issues (mental, physical disability, chronic illness). Others try to work through day labor but are often unsuccessful. There are several single mothers who participate, and a number of senior citizens who are unable to work any longer given their health and educational status. Participants come from a variety of faith backgrounds, some having no apparent relationship with Christ, while others display a strong faith in Him.
Cornerstone sponsors the PLM by serving a hot meal on the fourth Saturday of every month. This is a great opportunity for Journey Groups to serve together! Journey Groups are also encouraged to distribute various items such as canned, boxed, and fresh food, clothing, and personal toiletry items. By your Journey Group’s participation in this important ministry, those in need will receive a hot meal, a friendly smile, and a glimpse of Christ’s love.
