Alabama Youth Group

Phil Yarbrough, who grew up in Borger, brought his youth group from Crosspoint Family Church in Madison, Alabama to volunteer at Living Water today. While Phil tried to get our new computer connected to our printer, the kids and other sponsors did a lot of clean-up around our building!

Lots of floor cleaning went on.

And some great fun!

We had several people cleaning upholstery on chairs.

Vacuuming and dusting...

Plant cleaning, dusting, mopping...

More upholstery cleaning...

Window cleaning--inside & out!

And these guys actually volunteered to clean our 3 bathrooms! They would have made their mama's proud!!

What a great group of young people. Not only were they hard workers, but they were very mannerly and lots of fun. Thanks guys for making Living Water one of your ministry stops.

We were blessed.

Psalm 23

This year, we began giving prizes each week to people for memorizing a Bible verse. At first, only one or two would even try it. But as time progressed, lots of people were trying. In fact, this week, we had about 14 people who memorized and quoted Psalm 91:2. Over the past few weeks, we were memorizing Psalm 23...one verse at a time.

Last week, I told our crowd that anyone who could quote the entire chapter of Psalm 23, word perfectly, in one sitting, they would receive a nice prize. This lady took me up on it! She quoted Psalm 23 word perfectly and received a gift certificate to Pizza Duo. Way to go, Lisa!!

Some Great Volunteers

We always have great volunteers at Living Water, but I wanted to introduce you to a few from last Friday.

From left to right: Sandra Keys, LaNell White and Janice Williams. These ladies are regular volunteers who register our clients each Friday on Food Distribution Day---with a smile, I might add.

And these two were one-time volunteers this past Friday. Ryan & Addie Dietz came to show us how easy it is to memorize an entire chapter from the Bible. They quoted Psalm 23 for us and did an outstanding job! They were quite the motivators for the rest of us. (And cute, to boot!)

Dresses!

Do you have a prom dress or wedding dress hanging in your closet? You would make someone's day by donating it to Living Water! We usually get some very out-of-style dresses before prom and before summer weddings, but it would be so nice to have some that are stylish available. Why just let it hang in your closet when you could help someone less fortunate? (Unless, of course, you're planning on passing your wedding dress on to your daughter.) There are so many young women who could never afford something really nice. And hey! If you have a veil or the shoes that match---even better!!
