Today about a dozen members of our church, ranging from age 20 to age 81, got together and spent over $4000 of money donated in special offerings from this December on groceries. A local grocery store kicked in a discount also. We loaded all this food on or in personal cars, trucks, and a trailer and transported it to our building where we separated it into 130 bags to be given to senior citizens and hungry families in Mercer County. We are coordinating with a local food pantry to identify those who need the food the most.
Left brained people did left brained things like counting, quality checking, and organizing. Right brained people did right brained things like sing songs, cheer-lead, and encourage. There were very few arguments and generally great attitudes (morning caffeine helped). It took about 5 hours and we're all ready to distribute tomorrow morning.
I love the Body of Christ at work!
