 Some members of a Florida church left Sunday's services shoeless after placing their footwear on the altar to help an area homeless shelter.

First Baptist Church of Fort Lauderdale, which is attended by about 2,000 people each Sunday, collected an estimated 700 pairs of shoes for the homeless during Sunday's "Soles for Souls" event, according to Mike Jeffries, associate to the senior pastor.

Senior Pastor Larry Thompson told The Christian Post some people went home barefoot or wearing just their socks, while others brought an extra pair of shoes to wear home.
