BOB D. writes: A few youth and I got some really good practice carving pumpkins with the residents at the Parson’s House last Saturday afternoon. Watching our youth spend part of their Saturday afternoon in service to others was wonderful. It was so cute at one of the tables, the ladies who were residents where sharing with me how old they were. One started off by saying “I’m 91” then another lady would look at the one who just spoke and would then say “well I’m 93” this went on and on. They really enjoyed sharing their stories with our youth. I hope that when I am in my 90’s some youth group as kind as ours comes to visit me!

We are collecting socks and underwear of all sizes for the project “STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY” to donate. There will be a drop off basket located on the youth table in the Rotunda.

I Peter 3:18-20, For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey….”
