Doing a little helpin' out at Bethany's WND

A group of us (Will came too!) volunteered at Bethany Presbyterian's Wednesday Night Dinner(WND)tonight and enjoyed ourselves. Bethany has put on WND for 9 years, in which they offer fellowship, a comfortable place to hang out, and a meal to whomever (mostly homeless locals). Janet Moore's in charge (she's a social worker!), and they've got quite an orderly system down. They happened to have an abundance of volunteers this time, but we made ourselves useful in serving food and cleanup. I enjoyed making eye contact and a personal interaction (it was quite elaborate: "would you like some bread? Enjoy your meal!") with each person who came through :) Marj & Will & I had a really great conversation with a nice Turkish man, too. Erika's interested in volunteering more often at WND w/ the team b/c it's so close by. I'd like to do the Bible Study and Communion time sometime; Pastor Dan makes a commitment to lead it every week. I only wish I had more room in my schedule for more, regular service work, but I can look forward to that post-college. God's definitely putting me to use with the opportunities that He's given to me at present.
