Greenwich Village Gazette: Ecclesia Ministries Meeting the Spiritual Needs of Homeless New YorkersOn any given Sunday, beginning at 2 PM, if you happen to walk through Madison Square Park in Manhattan, you’ll see people gathered around an alter, holding a worship service complete with scriptural readings, prayers, the singing of hymns, a short sermon, and communion for all those who wish to receive it. This will be followed by a "second meal," also served from the alter, to make sure that no one – participant or passerby alike – goes away hungry in body or spirit. |
