Brockton - June 7, 2026
Last Sunday was a beautiful day to be serving our friends in Brockton. The meal was a Mexican chicken bake, fresh fruit, home baked goods, snacks, and iced tea or lemonade. We had a small team of six people, and I was outnumbered as the only guy. We also had a new volunteer who said she found the experience very rewarding.
We had volunteers from the following churches: Church of Emmanuel, Grace Chapel, Jesus Revolution Church (Brockton), The Fellowship (Easton)
The team served 96 meals across five locations and offered many prayers. Here they are:
– Mark told us that Carrie had passed away (drowned). Her boyfriend Sean is overwhelmed with grief.
– Jillina is praying for her family.
– Donnie asked for prayers for his mother who is on chemo and for his girlfriend.
– Richard 1 is praying to get out of Brockton and have a lower rent.
– Richard 2 is praying for care and compassion.
– Michelle is praying that the spider bites we see on her face will not become infected and for permanent housing.
– It was nice to see Christina laughing.
– Jose is praying for the health and well-being of Contiflia
– James 1 (and his dog Brownie) are praying for health and happiness.
– Bill (a veteran) received a crocheted afghan made in the form of an American flag. He has surgery next week.
– Sal and Marie were so happy to receive communion from us.
– Mark 2 is praying that the injuries to his leg will not result in a staph infection. He is desperate for both safety and protection.
– Angel is praying for the healing of her broken bones.
– Nori was in very good spirits and looked very healthy. We need to continue to pray for her health.
– Jennifer has a bad back that needs healing and is suffering from blood poisoning.
– Sharif is praying for his family and for a sense of purpose.
– Travis is praying for patience and motivation to get proper housing. He only has 30 more days in the shelter.
