We started the day’s activities with Piercing Word and their executive director, Aaron House. Aaron shared a passionate workshop that demonstrated how to memorize the Bible in fun, life-giving ways. Their organization gives presentations where their script is the Scriptures in the ESV.
Aaron gave us a mini workshop on leading discussion-based Bible studies. The level of experience he spoke from and the tools he gave us made the time very valuable.
We enjoyed a pizza lunch back at the home base, and rested before heading back out, this time to Twin Valley Food Bank. This organization supplies a monthly drive-through food bank for families in need. Today’s drive-through was more extensive, with provisions for Christmas dinner.
At 5:00, we rolled loaded carts out to cars, gave toy baskets to the children, asked people for their choice of turkey or ham, and placed the food parcels in their car.
By 5:40, most of the cars had come through the line. We stayed to put all the food away and clean up, and left at 7:00.
Patrick and Bethany had a delicious supper ready for us when we got back!
While enjoying their dessert of Biscoff cookies, we circled up for a final debrief while Patrick and Bethany are with us. Everyone has been working hard and is ready to call it a day!
