Every year our church gets to participate in a really great local ministry called Love INC. This week we are the Church of the Week and we get to partner with Love INC and help them as they deliver much needed furniture, clothing, food and other necessities to local families in need.
Yesterday morning a big group from our church, including a lot of our Jr. High and High School students and their families, met up at the Love INC warehouse and prepared for our day of service! I was so proud of our students and their families for giving up their holiday off of school and work to spend the day serving others. We have such wonderful people at our church!
We were split up into different groups and all were given different items to deliver to local families. Our group was given a king sized bed, a twin bed, sheets, pillows, a comforter, a TV and some kitchen and bathroom necessities to deliver to two different homes in Sacramento. The twin bed went to the cutest 7-year-old girl who had been sleeping on the floor and was SO excited to have a very own bed of her own to sleep in that night! What a blessing to be able to be a part of making that happen for her!
We also got a chance to pray for both of the families that we delivered furniture to and it was so cool to stand hand and hand with them and pray for hope, restoration and God's provision in each of our lives.
I loved hearing the stories from our other groups (I think we had 11 total that went out just yesterday!). Each one had a cool story to tell about how they were blessed through this experience. Our church will be other there the rest of this week, helping out as well and I look forward to hearing even more great stories from everyone else who serves this week!
Below are a few of the pictures I took yesterday of our wonderful church family serving together! If you haven't signed up to serve for Love INC yet this week and you are a part of Living Water, it's not too late to sign up! You won't be sorry!
