A Heart That Feeds Others

Many who come to the Church of the Advocate/Red Door Ministry, will tell you that they did not find the Advocate, the Advocate found them!

That is the way it was for Chef Renny Todisco.

Renny will tell you how rough and grueling food service can be but he will also let you know what he loves about it.  He has worked in food services for 30 years but was not working in it when his friend, and our previous Chef Eric said to him “hey, here is something that is close to our hearts”

The Advocate had found Renny.

“Just bring your heart”. No experience or a lot of experience, whoever, however- just come as you are for respite, a good meal and fellowship with others who also ‘just brought their hearts'.

Come on by Sunday afternoons and Tuesday mornings just as you are and find yourself at home, at rest.

“It was not I that found, oh savior true,

I was found of thee” – Text anonymous ca. 1890

Sundays open for worship and meals 130pm. Tuesday’s doors open at 9am for

Circle of Healing and Prayer and a light meal. Basics-to-Go for all lovingly given.
