There will be music, fun, games and food!
The only thing missing is
YOU!

Dear ones, God has blessed us all with so much more than any of us could ever deserve and we should all be reminded of what Jesus said,
" I tell you the truth, whatever we did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me"
"If you are generous with the hungry
and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,
Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness,
your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.
I will always show you where to go.
I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—
firm muscles, strong bones.
You'll be like a well-watered garden,
a gurgling spring that never runs dry.
You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew,
rebuild the foundations from out of your past.
You'll be known as those who can fix anything,
restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate,
make the community livable again."
