Generosity

That's me
The coat collection crew for first hour

Donations kept pouring in!!

Ladies cutting off tags and sorting sizes



Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
2Corinthians 1:3-4
Sunday Derek and I were blessed to volunteer for the Imagine coat collection at our church. It was amazing to see the generosity of our church family!! I was filled with gratitude and joy as I stood at the table and watched families bring their coats in for donation.
At the end of the first hour, Imagine collected 1,412 coats and I can't wait to find out if second hour beat that number!!
Remember last week-the toy collection? Well as of yesterday, 2,200 toys have been collected and will ALL be distributed on December 12th.
It is a good thing when we come together to serve others in need. It could be any of us at any time.
Still wanting to serve but unsure of an opportunity? Donations of toys and coats (size 0-3t are desperately needed) can be dropped off at the Eastview Church office.
I can guarantee one thing-if you serve you WILL be blessed!!
Touch someones life this holiday season!!
