What a weekend filled with God's blessings!!! Friday night the college group got together to watch a movie and have pizza. It was a great opportunity for us to hang out before a day of service. Saturday was the church's second 'Garage Giveaway'. It is just like a garage sale, except we invite needy families to come and take, yes TAKE, whatever they need. The garage giveaway in the fall was a huge success with over 600 people coming to get what they needed.
Saturday morning we opened the doors at 7am and wow. It was amazing. I wish I had taken a picture of all the stuff. Krista, the organizer of the giveaway said we had three times the stuff from last time. I was especially excited to work this giveaway because I missed working the first one due to being home for the weekend. I got there at 6am as we started to set things up and get ready for the day.
We registered each guest and took their information and asked them about their knowledge of Christ and salvation. We started off the morning bright and early with a woman coming to know Christ! Praise the Lord!! I was a great opportunity to serve and I thoroughly enjoyed helping ladies find clothes in their size. I had so much fun holding something up and having ladies say yes or no to whether they liked it or not. Wow... what an experience.
We had around 500 people come to the giveaway this Saturday... and so many seeds were planted. I am so blessed to be a part of a church that works so diligently for Christ and His kingdom. To God be the glory!
