A special time for Peace, Love and Harmony

I am pleased to share that our winter projects are just about complete.  First, our group made potatoes, carrots, peas and gravy to feed 240 people for Thanksgiving at the Elizabeth Shelter in Cobb County. A couple of members went and worked the dinner along with clean up.  The patrons were very gracious and there was plenty of food to go around.  Everyone enjoyed it.

Many thanks to Patty Sammons, Tina Klejka, Jennifer Kenny, Stephanie Gale, Stephanie Neal, Jill Hewes, Patty Voyles, Lesley Thomas,  JoAnn Crawford, Courtney Moore and Kathryn Gale. 

Our Owsley County Outreach Christmas gifts have been delivered and stored at the preschool for the 40 children. Distribution will be right before Christmas. Thank everyone who participated! I know it takes time and effort to think of others and thebe4good project has had great success in finding the right people to help.

I'd especially like to thank the following for all of their contributions:  Valerie Sherer, Patty Sammons, Marilyn Sammons, Tina Klejka, Pam Williams, Stephanie Neal, Steve Gale, Eric DeHart, Lynn Mitzel, Muriel Varon, JoAnn Crawford, Courtney Moore, Becca Banks, Shay Hamer, Lesley Thomas and Kathryn Gale.  If I have forgotten anyone, accept my apology and gratitude.

Our stockings for MUST will be delivered next week and it appears we have more than needed. This is always a wonderful thing as more children will benefit from these gifts. The surplus will go to the MUST main campus for needy families, etc.

Wishing a warm, safe and wonderful holiday season to all of our family and friends. And when you get the chance to serve, please spread peace, love and harmony to others.

Matthew 25 : 35-45 tells us, For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

And as always, be4good!
