What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him,"Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. James 2:14-18
Compassion Cafe is a ministry supported by approximately twenty churches in the Nashville area. Volunteers at these churches create teams who prepare a meal once a month to serve at the cafe, which is located on the corner of Church and Collins Streets, behind the main Nashville UMC building.
The purpose of this ministry is not only to feed the body of those in need, but to feed the soul by offering fellowship and a daily devotion.
Compassion Cafe is open from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. We service approximately 60 guests each day.
This is a wonderful outreach ministry to our community and also highlights unity and collaboration among churches in our area. Compassion Cafe is a shining example of how God works through those who pursue his purpose.
Below is a our current schedule. We often have '5th week' days available for those who are called to serve. If your church or organization would like to become involved, please call Nashville UMC at 459-7178 or e-mail info@nashvilleumc.net .
