Feeding the Hungry...

So Sunday afternoon I had my first event with the board of missions and social action... One of my fellow board members has a ministry where they feed the hungry in Pomona on Sundays... He nudged me after the meeting a week ago and asked if I would be willing to help...

I was overjoyed by the thought... I made a huge pan of vegetables and headed down to the school where the meal was going to be held... The spread was pretty sweet; chicken, veggies, salad, rice, and desserts... it was nice to work along side other people from church...


It was slow in the beginning, then the line really formed... we ended up feeding 57 families and giving all the food we had away... It was awesome to meet and love on the people... some were really down and out and very appreciative...

I thought of Leviticus 23:22 as I drove home with a full heart... I like what this board stands for, and I like that we are focused on helping those in need; near and far...
