Lost Sheep Ministry

Those forgotten in life need not be forgotten in death.                                                               The spirit of the Christmas season is an opportunity for compassion and concern for all, especially the homeless.

Once again, our faith community is preparing to observe Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day in Knoxville. It is observed every year around the country on December 21st, the longest night of the year, to give an opportunity to remember the passing of people who experienced homelessness, and to bring awareness to the tragedy of homelessness.

A candle light walk and memorial service will be held to remember our homeless neighbors who died in 2011. The public is welcome.

Volunteers Diane, Geneva, Mary and Bill arrived at Lost Sheep Ministry kitchen with hundreds of pounds of fresh picked green beans. They stayed late to wash, break, and prepare for the freezer. We will be able to
serve these with a meal to our homeless neighbors. Thanks folks!

Once a month Jim and Joe Bryant “Black Eyed Joe’s BBQ“, smokes and serves a meal to approximately 400 of Knoxville’s homeless neighbors. The downtown area is filled with the sweet smell of smoking BBQ. Along with Gospel music, prayer and a message, it is a real treat for everyone. We are blessed to have such compassionate and dedicated volunteers who serve the Lord at Lost Sheep Ministry.

Thank you Black Eyed Joe’s BBQ !

Forty University of Tennessee students recently volunteer at Lost Sheep Ministry for the Martin Luther King Service Day.  They helped with the clothing ministry, as well as cleaning the kitchen and sorting and organizing food donations. What an awesome group of young adults. What a GREAT team!
