Midweek Manna at First Baptist Church of Decatur
June 3, 2026 What a wonderful evening at Midweek Manna!
It is always a blessing to see the friendly staff at FBC Decatur, our amazing volunteers & the great folks who come to share a meal with us. From the smiles & hugs to the laughter & meaningful conversations, every gathering reminds us that community is one of God’s greatest gifts.
A special thank you to our dedicated mobile kitchen prep team & volunteers who faithfully serve behind the scenes & on the serving line. Your hard work, compassion & servant hearts make evenings like this possible.
At Feed My Sheep Squared, we believe a meal is about more than food. It is about fellowship, friendship, encouragement & sharing the love of Christ with one another.
Most importantly, we give all glory & praise to God for His provision, His blessings & the opportunity to serve our neighbors. May everything we do point people to Him.
“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” — Romans 11:36

Our mobile kitchen was staffed by Board Members David Goodman, Robin Cowin, Joyce Cowin & Kathy Henson, who helped make the evening a success.
Most importantly, there were plenty of smiles, hugs, conversations & encouragement shared throughout the night. We are grateful for every volunteer, donor & guest who makes Monday Meals such a special ministry.
