These gentlemen cook and feed the homeless every Sunday may God Bless them 🙏

These days, Roger and Michelle McCoy don’t typically find themselves in a church building most Sunday mornings, but that doesn’t mean they’ve given up on church.

“This is our church, right here,” Roger told The News Herald as he gestured to a group of approximately 25 unsheltered individuals gathered in a small grassy lot on West Concord Street in Morganton.

 


 

 

 
Every Sunday since March, the McCoy’s have set up their ministry in this lot between the Grace Episcopal Church parking lot and the Auto Spa on South College Street. Starting at 11 a.m., the ministry, dubbed The Master’s Table, provides a homecooked meal for local residents currently experiencing homelessness. It’s an idea that had its genesis on the couple’s front porch last year.

“We were doing devotions on the back porch, and it come up on that Matthew part,” said Roger. “‘I was hungry, and you fed me,’ that part. That’s how it first got started.”“So, we left the church and just started doing it on our own,” she said.

It has taken some time to build the ministry up to what it is now.

“We went over town and hadn’t talked to a soul,” Roger said. “We had tomato soup and cheese sandwiches, that’s all we had … We had eight people, so we told them next Sunday, we’ll be here again, and we had a few more.”

As of July 2, The Master’s Table has grown to six volunteers who feed around 50 people every Sunday, but even after the challenges of those first few weeks, the process of finding a permanent home hasn’t been easy.

When the McCoy’s began the ministry in January, they set up in the parking lot between Martha’s Park and the old Belk’s Building on East Union Street. After several weeks, they were told they would have to find a new place. From there, Roger made unsuccessful attempts to house the ministry at the Burke Mission Station and in the parking lot of a downtown church before finally being allowed to use the lot adjacent to the Autospa.

Having to prove myself to people and opportunities became a bit of a challenge but it built me to be the person I am today.” Ontiretse said

“Some people would make fun of me or say mean things to me but I used that as a wagon to motivate myself and tell myself that I am also human and I am able, People need to educate themselves about disabilities and how to treat people with disabilities. I am, however, very patient, and I’ve grown to understand that in this world there are different people and that we are all not the same mentally.I am a very happy person and I use my positive energy to drive me and build me to become a better person,” she said

“I am in a relationship,Men will always be men. You always have to build trust and it takes time and patience and hope they don’t disappoint you.”

” I want to learn more and expose myself to good opportunities behind the scenes. I am very proud to be who I am. I stand for boldness and always using what you have, less complaining,and always turning negative to positive.”
