Group 3 Friday Update

Friday June 27th,

Not as early, as the serving for the homeless at Palmer Episcopal Team 3 found themselves stuffing lunch bags for hundreds of kids below the age of 5 that might find no food for lunch that day. The site that we were at makes the lunches another sight delivers. Our pleasure this morning came as we accepted the challenge to make more sandwiches than any other crew this week or in recent time. We found a rhythm and an organization model to our work and we exceeded our goals and ended up making 1,346 sandwiches.

The spirit of God working in all of us was a thing of beauty. But seeing what God accomplished with us collectively was full of grace.

We consumed the sandwiches provided for us back at CSM... however, after 1,346 we had had our fill.

Friday afternoon we we were at Medical Bridges. A collection site for unused and able to be reused medical supplies of all kinds. Our jobs entailed sorting, boxing, and preparing for shipping someday down the road. We learned that over 9 billion dollars worth of medical supplies can be found in U.S. landfills. Again with a earnest spirit for the tasks in front of we worked thoroughly until our departure time. Just as the day before, at SEARCH, we left a fragrant bleach smell and clean distribution room. Amen.
