In Service

In Service Update (11-14-05)

We had a beautiful Sunday this week. The sun was out and it was really warm. We had a good and mostly positive crowd this week (besides a little background bantering between 2 women)

We handed out 75 lunches, socks, coffee and some misc. clothing items. It was good to connect with many of our regulars, but also see a few new faces.

We were once again graced with the presence of the Christian Scientists, who pitched their big yellow tent behind us and gave out free massages- Our friends however, do not seem to acknowledge them, and there has been up to this point "peaceful co-existence"

We also bumped into another fellow who was set up at our spot handing out breakfast. He asked jokingly what we were doing invading his space (he didn't realized that we have been established there for at least 8 months.) It was fun working side by side someone who was just taking initiative to help some folks out.

So, a few things to note:

**Please pray for Ballston as I will return there next week to prayer walk with the interested volunteers about how the ministry should go forward there. Also pray for the Union Team as they press on in my absence (they totally rock it!)
**Please pray and consider volunteering for lunch-making and serving on Sunday at Union. Ask your small groups if they are interested in taking part.
**Consider walking in the Homeless walk-a-thon on Saturday the 19th.

For all volunteers, or blog readers, or prayer partners...
We are going to do another In Service fun outing to boost up our connection with one another as we prepare for the hard winter. We will go bowling in Bethesda after the services on Sunday December 4th! Be ready for some fun, and competition!
More details to follow, but pencil it in for that afternoon... Please rsvp through the comments or per email john1930@hotmail.com

peace
