"I Was Hungry" - A Call to Feed Souls and Bodies - 1st Sunday of Lent

  • First Congregational Church of Bakersfield-UCC 5 Real Road Bakersfield, CA, 93309 United States (map)

Pastor: Rev. Jenell Mahoney
Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46

What does it mean to truly see the hungry?

Hunger is more than just an empty stomach—it is a cry for justice, dignity, and compassion. Jesus tells us, “I was hungry, and you gave me food.” This first Sunday of Lent, we begin our journey through Matthew 25, reflecting on our call to feed those in need, both physically and spiritually.

Who in our community is hungering for more than bread? Who needs nourishment of the soul, a word of kindness, a place at the table?

Join us as we explore how faith is made visible through action—and how we, as followers of Christ, are called to be the hands that feed the world.

Join us on Sunday, March 9, as we step into Lent together.
