Many of you know that our family is really excited about what's happening at Mean Street Ministry. "the table" is an amazing ministry that was started to partner with them. Every Thursday night a homemade meal is provided at our church and people living in the hotels and motels along Colfax join us for dinner. Afterwards we have a worship service and time for fellowship. The hope? That we are feeding not only the body, but also the soul.
Last night our usual cook was out of town. Greg and I were a little nervous but agreed to fill in. After all - can anyone really goof up chili? Did I mention that it's 10# of meat and chili for 75+ people?!?! But with God on our side what could go wrong??? Absolutely nothing!!! As it turned out, we managed pretty well in a different kitchen with everything stored in strange and unique places! Joshua and Hannah helped open cans, cut green chiles, and kept the pots stirred. They also helped set the tables and put out the paper products, and when it came time to serve, our Webelos Scouts were there to fill bowls, pass out brownies and cupcakes, and carry plates. We are so thankful for the amazing minds that partnered together to make this ministry a reality! It was another great night ~ terrific life lessons for all of us!!!

To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. 1 Corinthians 4: 11-13
Such an important ministry and great way to share! Thanks for being a blessing to others and to us as well! Love you guys!
