Thanks for your support

I was at the Day Center today dropping off the abundance of food, toiletries, and even some money that you have been donating for the folks we serve at the Day Center. I was struck by how the help was both necessary and appreciated. As I heard from the people staffing the pantry that they were so very grateful to see me (or at least the many bags full of food I was carrying ;-)) I realized I haven't passed their gratitude on to you.

Today the shelves in the pantry were a bit sparse prior to my arrival with your generosity. The three staff in the pantry quickly grabbed the bags out of my hands and put the food on the shelves. As I went out to get other bags still in my car, I saw a line forming outside the pantry. When I brought in the second and third loads of food to the pantry a few more folks had gotten in line to get food.

Your gifts to these folks are deeply appreciated. I bring in our special bags (thank you SS) and I am immediately identified. They empty the bags and give them back to me so that we can bring them again with more food.

God has given me a trusted place with our friends, who know we at CPC care for them. He has opened doors for gospel conversations. Even today I had another conversation with one of my friends. We talked about Jesus, and how our love for Him drives us to care for her and for the folks at the Center. We have had good times of prayer together, and I believe God is using our work to honor Him. He will use our labors to build His kingdom and reach His people.

So, thank you. Your sacrifices and prayers are making a difference. I am proud to represent you at the Center and to share with you how God is at work through you.
