Jesus Christ our Lord commanded us to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked.
Friendship AME Church's Bailey-Young Outreach Center was consecrated
and dedicated in May of 2007 to do just that. Housed in a building across the street from
the church, The Outreach Center is open to all in need.
Named after our two most elderly and devoted members, Mothers Bertha Bailey (99
years old ,on the right in photo) and Mattie Mae Young (96 years old, The Center
collects and distributes food and clothing to the needy of our community.
This facility, which is only open on the weekend, is manned by the youth of our church's
Young People Division and the men of The Sons of Allen.

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "The the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "The righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' |
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." MATTHEW 25:31-46 (NIV) |
Members; Please remember to bring your donations to the church every fourth Sunday for distribution to the needy of
Clinton and its surroundings through our Outreach Center. Place your non-perishable food and clothing items around
the altar rail so we can bless them during the Worship Service's regular benevolent offering.
