New freezers

Living Water has been operating with some used freezers from the day our door was opened 7 years ago. We were in dire need of new freezers. ConocoPhillips Lower 48 and United Way recently each purchased a freezer for us! We are so excited to not only have new freezers---we have new commercial freezers.

Our new freezers were delivered this Monday--a whole day early!

George Nies happened to come by at just the right time to help unload and set up our new freezers.

Here they are in all their glory. And just in the nick of time to hold our holiday meats for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Bag of Blessings

Every year at this time at Living Water, we ask people to fill a Bag of Blessings! These are special holiday foods that we will give the disadvantaged people of Hutchinson County. You don't need to come by and get a bag to fill it; you can take this list to your local grocery store and bring your filled bag to Living Water by Friday, November 6. But...we know it helps to have a grocery bag with this list attached to help remind you. So please come by Living Water and we'll be glad to supply all of the bags you need! We encourage churches, businesses, civic groups, schools---everyone to get in on the fun. It's an easy thing to do to help others during the holidays and it costs less than $20 a bag---but it becomes a huge Bag of Blessings to those receiving them.
We need to fill 300 bags for Thanksgiving and Christmas--so we need your help--PLEASE!

Living Water Wedding

Kelvin Hall & Cyndy (Cory) Lyons

Kelvin & Cyndy met at Living Water. They came to get food....but found each other. They began seeing each other and soon afterward, they were even talking about marriage. Kelvin surprised Cyndy one Friday here at Living Water. He dropped to his knee in front of all of us and asked her to marry him. She said, "YES!"

These are two people whose lives have been changed and are now wanting to affect the lives of others. They have become volunteers at Living Water--where they met! I have a feeling this place will always hold a soft spot in their hearts.

So, this Thursday, they'll tie the knot! And everyone is invited....

Two lives…
Two hearts…
Joined together in friendship…
United forever in love.


Cynthia Ann Lyons
&
Kelvin Dwight Hall
