From New Jersey-It was still another 20 minutes before lunch was served, but the dining room was already filling in the small building that sits adjacent to St. Mark's Episcopal Church.
About 25 people sat around long tables in the Center for Community Renewal, the church's feeding ministry. Some drank coffee and chatted with friends while others sat silently.
All in all, the crowd at lunch last week numbered nearly as many as the church's members who fill the pews each Sunday.
Tiny in size and just as meager in riches, this parish of 32 people somehow manages to feed breakfast and lunch each day, in all plating up more than 6,000 meals each month. It's a feat that sometimes even its director Tammy Young has a hard time explaining.
