Building Community. We were made for community. We were not made to walk this life alone. It is just too hard. I believe that the kitchen is where life truly happens. Conversation is easier when the aroma is good and the hands are moving. It is a place where children lean against the cabinets and tell their stories of the day while dinner is cooking. It is a place where husbands or wives (depending on who is cooking) look over shoulders and sneak samples of the anticipated dinner to come. The kitchen is full of stories. Stories of incredible recipes and burnt dinners. All of which create memories of relationship. The kitchen is a place in peoples homes where dirty dishes left in the sink tell a story of the business and the gathering of family. The kitchen is a place that no matter how we design a house, it gets the most attention because it is simply the kitchen.
The Mary Magdalene House is a mission. A mission based out of the kitchen. A place where stories are told, community is built and healing happens all in a kitchen.
There are lots of things going on at The Mary Magdalene House. We are working on updating our website to better show the mission's work. You can check it out at www.marymagdalenehouse.com
