To the Streets Thanksgiving Update

By DeAnza on

Saturday night was a great success thanks to each of you! We had 85+ men and women join us for a spectacular thanksgiving meal. The evening was incredibly smooth-- from the roasting of turkeys to the decorations to the serving each person that walked in the door. What a blessing!

There were many stories from folks who shared they couldn't remember the last time they had a dinner like this. Folks felt that they were indeed our VIP's of the evening and that was definitely the message we wanted to share.

A couple of highlights... we were able to feed 70+ more people by taking the left overs which included 2 whole turkeys and all the other fixings to Nickelsville.

A woman who was having a difficult evening due to some health issues and being incredibly tired was able to get into shelter that night.

QJC Presents

By DeAnza on

The QJC ministry is asking, "˜How can we go deeper together as we seek to follow God's mandate to love mercy, seek justice and walk humbly'? We recognize that this is not a peripheral command of our faith but a central part of our identity and we desire to go deeper in fellowship and community as we seek God's heart together. This next year we will be creating different platforms and venues to do just that.
