Pantry Night







What a beautiful week we have had this week. God has blessed us with beautiful weather. Wednesday nights at Clapp's Chapel just keep getting better. The choir is sounding just beautiful. The air is filled with the sound of the holidays. The prayer group continues to lift those in need up to the Lord. Confirmation class is well under way. The younger kids are learning about Jesus and His awesome love for us. In fact, I was serenaded to a beautiful rendition of "Jesus Loves Me" on the way home by 3 very special young ladies. And the youth group went to the Corryton Food Pantry to bag groceries. Here are some thoughts from some of the kids on what this means to them.
FROM MACY SHARP:
"It was a blessing to get to help my church youth friends bag food for the needy in our community. On the first Wednesday of the month, we go to the food pantry to try to beat our record on bagging. We pick our positions and the timer starts. Our treat for the night is going to Twisters for ice cream. It is always an Awesome time."
FROM ANNIE GOLDMAN:
"So tonight at the Corryton Food Pantry we bagged groceries for the families that need assistance. It's such a wonderful feeling to know that we're helping people we may know. They appreciate it so much. We're blessed to be so fortunate. Anyone who would like to join us in giving back to the community is welcome!"
