Serving the hungry.

7.12.2008 — 5 Comments


Had a great service-opportunity today at “The Gathering” in downtown Milwaukee. 18 of us from our church headed downtown this morning at about 8:30 for a day of serving food to those in need.

It was an absolute joy to serve 230 hungry people a meal and a smile. Some were grateful, some weren’t. My heart lurched each time a child came through the line and more-than-once I was near tears in gratefulness for what I have been blessed with in life!

My job today was “Shepherd’s Pie disher-outer”. I rocked at my job. I also rocked the hairnet all day too.

Pics from the day are here.

  1. Sad isn’t it that we comment more on the squirrels than feeding the needy people…
    Way to go Stev! Wish we had that at WWC.

  2. Great job Stev!

    kathy, it only takes one person to start it and that one – can be YOU! You definitely have hungry, needy folk in Warsaw! So often we wait until we have been through a circumstance to ‘feel’ for those who are in that circumstance!

    Oh, forgot…we are proud of you for diving in to serve Stev! Love the hairnet but REALLY, with such short hair was it really necessary? I guess it was, when rules are made to be for everyone to keep them!! Maybe next time it will be thirty of Our Saviours Wesleyans who go to serve!!
