Remember we also are ringing the bells on Dec 19th, if you feel you would like to ring the bells

Hi Everyone,

Finally I'm able to post again here on the blog, Aug we didn't take any pictures. In Sept and Oct

I lost them all on the s/d card which included spirit night on Sept 13th.

So, now its November, this past Friday we served a complete Thanksgiving dinner to the men at the 2100 Lakeside Shelter. We served almost 150 dinners. We prepared, 5 fresh turkeys, homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, apple sauce, dinner rolls, homemade cupcakes. This was a task that all involved should be proud. Akron Salvation Army allowed us to use their Canteen to serve this meal. Kings Kitchen donated 200 dollars so we could prepare and serve this to the men. The men were very thankful, we also gave out 100 hygiene packs, 100 pairs of socks, bananas, granola bars and the famous chick fil a sandwiches. We thank the Lord for all who helped out and made this a successful dinner. At East Cleveland, we handed out chick fil a sandwiches along with oreo cookies. We had 7 boxes of clothes that had many jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies, gloves, hats etc. We took home 3 boxes that are half full. Thanks to all who donated clothing. Please keep this in your prayers, as winter is yet to appear and will soon.
Their is still a big need for gloves, hats and socks.


In His Love

John



Micah 6-8


He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
