Service Opportunity in Greenwood
There is a wonderful chance to serve as a family that is just opening up in Greenwood. A soup kitchen has opened in the New Beginnings Worship Center, 1151 Bridge St. beside Dairy Queen, running from 11:30 to 2pm on Wednesday afternoons. To be clear, it is not run by New Beginnings, but by a wonderful woman named Jackie Benoit. Her heart is for all the hurting, hungry and lonely people of the Valley and has a desire to see them fed and connected with others, and with the help they need.

Families interested in serving are more than welcome. Please call Jan Blackwell to schedule a day to volunteer. Right now there are few patrons, and many volunteers showing up could overwhelm them! I will meet you there and introduce you to Jackie - then she will inspire you with true tales of changed lives and give you a vision for service to the lost and hurting.

There are many service options here: delivering food to tables, set up, clean up, conversing with the patrons, sharing the love of Christ without being overwhelming, blessing the effort financially, donating napkins or bread, soup or baking. However, one of the best things to do right now is to bring a friend who needs connection - a senior couple, or a single mom struggling to make ends meet, or an addict who needs a warm meal - for a very comfortable lunch with some really great women.
