Discovery United Methodist Church has three
time slots available for volunteers: Setup:
1:00-3:30 pm, Distribution: 4:30-7:30 pm,

Says Elaine Larson of Bishop

Says Elaine Larson of Bishop Gomez: "The first time I met Bishop Gomez was in August of 2004. We were waiting at Resurrection Church in San Salvador for the Bishop to arrive to conduct a service. It was the middle of the morning on a Thursday. Others waiting with our team were the homeless and street people of the area where the church is located. After the service a special meal of a bit of chicken , rice and a tortilla was to be served at Hope House, where meals are served 4 times a week for people in need. When the bishop came in all of the homeless folks we were with jumped to their feel and went to the Bishop. He hugged each of them and called them by name. The look of love and compassion in his face told me he was a very special man. It was a very touching and inspiring moment for me and the rest of the group. Each of the three times we have been to El Salvador he has taken time out of his busy schedule to meet with our group and to share his concerns for his country and our country. He has travelled to the U.S. to meet with senators and representatives in Washington on issues that affect Central America. Bishop Gomez lives what Christ has called us to be in his love for kindness, his humility and his compassion for the poor."
