We had the smallest volunteer turnout in a long time tonight on what might have been the night where we had the most people come through the line in a long time. Pretty sure we had right at 100 people come through the line tonight.
Public school starts back tomorrow so that probably accounts for the light turnout of youth. We had one of our women's bible study groups helping us tonight, too. They did a great job.

We have talked about doing burritos for a long time but never pulled the trigger on it. Tonight we pulled the trigger and hit the bulls-eye. They were good, we had plenty and our friends loved them.

The womens bible study helped cook and serve at the first stop, but weren't going to the 2nd stop. A couple of youth had to leave because of school the next day. When we loaded up to go serve at the second stop we only had 5 people going to serve a meal that had a lot of items on the table to be served. That could make things tough and slow it down. As we were pulling out to go, Kelsey and Alexis pulled up. They had been at a meeting and were running late.That made 7. When we got to the Mercy House, Blake Leger and his dad Steve rolled up, giving us 9.
No problem. Give me 9 and we can knock any serving job out.

It's pretty amazing to look back at the end of a night and realize you've put food in the hands of over 100 people. It's also pretty amazing the way God continually puts the means and the resources in our hands to do this every Tuesday.
