Yes, I live near the poor, the homeless, and the children who have no fancy jeans or shoes. Our pastor spoke on Sunday about how these individuals are equated in our society today to the lepers of old -- untouchables. People walk by and they don't see them.<br /><br />I'm happy to say that our congregation has joined hands with a couple of shelters to assist with preparing and serving meals, and within the last year we have partnered with a larger group in our city to assist homeless individuals as they transition back into housing. We offer congregational meals and games with them in our facility 2-3 times/year, and we include them in our annual Thanksgiving dinner. It brings joy to our hearts to be able to do this.<br /><br />Thanks for a timely post!Sherrey Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715466245851050537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864298448748741983.post-87370972953648151152012-02-16T07:11:17.418-05:002012-02-16T07:11:17.418-05:00What a photo to contrast the two worlds?
