faith in action - taking it to the streets

This past weekend, Platte Woods UMC did something amazing. No Sunday School. No regular church services. Instead, we had a whole weekend full of different service projects.

For our project, we decided to help pack meals for Haiti. What an incredible experience! The four of us worked for three hours assembling meals and packing them up on Sunday morning. In twelve hours, our little church packed over 300,000 meals for souls in Haiti. Meals that were shipped out right away and are in Haiti today. What a great feeling.

Ready to work.

Getting our marching orders.

Hard at work.

Wesley's job was to pound the meals flat for shipping once they had been sealed. What a perfect job for a little boy!

Holly was in charge of moving the meals from the filling station to the weighing station. She did great!

Just some of the rice, beans, and soy that we used.


After our hard Sunday morning of work, we met some friends for an impromptu lunch.
It was a perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the spring weather.





We had to come inside for a quick thunderstorm so we took the opportunity for some more pix.

We ended the weekend with one big worship service at the Park Hill South High school. I love the view from the high school.


Starting to fill up. Hello orange!


Singing with Daddy.

Wonderful music.

Before we left, we had to get the kids' pictures with the school mascot.

Heading home after a perfectly fantastic day.





... serve one another in love.
