Speaking of Blessings

On the cusp of below-zero temperatures, we got a text during worship Sunday from the Drop-In Center.

The director, who coordinates all volunteers and food for the Drop-in Center had to be hospitalized. A call for food went out to the congregation after the postlude. Within 20 minutes, we had over 14 volunteers to bring food! Then emails and phone calls came in. We were able to provide a hearty, balanced lunch for 40+ people on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. In addition, several FPC members volunteered at The Warming Center so it could remain open. Without volunteers, it doesn’t operate.

The unsheltered are among us, and our congregation responded! Thanks be to God.
