Hands on Wilmington
John Liverman's Rotary Club Luncheon
Laura Barkley"s Wedding
What do these all have in common? They're the reason we didn't have to buy a single thing this week for the meal.
Hands on Wilmington was a big volunteer push this past weekend that gave us 28 pizzas. John Liverman brought us BBQ Chicken, Collards, and Sweet Potatoes from his luncheon and David and Ann Barkley brought us pasta salad, fresh vegetables, and turkey from their daughter's wedding reception.
I said last post it was a good week to be behind the table because we had so much to give. Well, this week was a great week, because we had even more than last week.
We split it up and served everything except pizza at the first stop. We took the leftovers to the second stop with us. At the second stop we served the pizza first (3-4 slices) and then offered the first stop leftovers for seconds.
It worked out well.
And again, it required nothing on our part except to be willing to receive it and pass it on.
Just be Hands and Feet.
MO-GAN / KILLER / ALEXANDRA / PEYSON / SHANE / HAMPTON / MITCH / TWIG / CHUCK / MIKE / MIKE'S WIFE / MARK / ALEX / J.BOGGS / TYLER / CECILIA / ZOOEY / ELAINE / BRIEN / TERESA / DAVID / HIS 2 GIRLS / SAM / DANIELLE / and JADE are people I like to spend my Tuesday nights with.
We pray a lot over the course of the night. Before we go up to serve, Grace at the first stop, before we leave for the second stop, Grace again, and then to close the night. Most times I ask one of the youth to say the Grace (sometimes one of our friends will volunteer).
It's cool to watch them get better and more confident at it. I remind them they are praying to God, and not to any of us. They pray some pretty incredible and humbling prayers when given the chance.

Next week J.Boggs is gonna run the show as part of his Sr. Project. He passed out a survey of services for the Homeless this week as part of that also.
His menu for next week is Baked Chicken, Mac'n Cheese, Dinner rolls, and Banana Pudding. We sat down last night and walked through everything he needed to get and needed to do for next week. J.Boggs will do fine.
Tyler is doing a chili supper as part of his Sr. Project with the donations going toward the Tuesday night ministry. It's April 28 at the Activity Supper from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Drop by and help him out if you can. He's a good guy.
I forgot to mention this in the last post. The first choice for the next movie we see on Sunday afternoon is THE BLIND SIDE.....you want to know what their next choice to watch is?
TRANSFORMERS.
And that just .........
