Today was a long, but very fulfilling day. This month in youth group, we are focusing on serving others. Today some of our youth students spent part of their spring break giving back. The high school students spent the afternoon helping at the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, while the junior high students worked at the Union Gospel Mission. What a great experience! I have always supported the work of UGM, but didn't realize just how much they help our community. I bet you didn't know that the food they receive not only helps feed the men at the UGM, but is also used to help 18 other ministries!
We spent our time in the warehouse doing inventory on all of their canned goods. My group of three girls filled out 12 pages of inventory! It was a lot of work and
very cold, but it was worth it. Isn't that what
serving is all about? Giving of yourself for the sake of others?
Here are some pictures of today's event:
