FPC children helped serve dinner at Hot Dish & Hope's third birthday celebration in July. Go to gallery.
The Hot Dish & Hope blog has prayer requests from our guests. Visit the blog.
Since July 8, 2008, Hot Dish & Hope has served a meal each Tuesday at 6 p.m. to anyone who is hungry. Hot Dish & Hope also has a Thursday evening meal at 6 p.m. The meals include a short worship service in the Mullin Life Center. The event needs volunteers to help serve meals and to provide other support.
Share in the ministry that puts our faith into action as we serve dinner and a “measure 
of hope” to individuals and families in need. We serve dinner Tuesdays and Thursdays in Mullin Life Center.
