Local Church Serves Up “God Dogs” on Fridays To Anyone In Need

Date:

Blessing people in the community is what they do. And on Fridays, they have a special way to do this.

Today, June 13, just like many other Fridays throughout the year, members of the Up at the Cross Church, located at 318 S. Scenic Hwy. in Lake Wales, are offering “God Dogs”; anyone who comes up to their tent is welcome to a hotdog, bag of chips, a drink, and a homemade brownie at no cost.

The church just wants to provide sustenance and care to anyone who needs it.

John Chappel, who runs the Christians 4 Christ store beside the church, shows me the homemade brownies, while he sits chatting with fellow church members awaiting to serve.

“We are here for the community”, says Chappel.

The God Dog station is set up every Friday starting at 11 o’clock directly across the street from the depot museum in the church parking lot. They will remain until they run out.
