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!!

Did you know....

...that if you are employed by or retired from ConocoPhillips that you can volunteer at Living Water and we'll be compensated with $500 for every 20 hours you give us--up to 40 hours?

...that if you are employed by ConocoPhillips and if you give a monetary gift to Living Water that ConocoPhillips will match that gift up to $15000 individually per year?

...that if you are retired from ConocoPhillips and if you give a monetary gift to Living Water that ConocoPhillips will match that gift up to $7500 individually per year?

Help Curves Help Living Water!

Curves is once again having a food drive for Living Water. But...the incentive is even stronger this year. Curves of Borger is in a friendly competition with several of the Curves in Amarillo. I happen to know the people of Borger have the biggest hearts!!

And Curves International has sweetened the pot. They are giving $1000 to the food pantry of the winning Curves' choice. And Curves in Borger has chosen Living Water!!

You don't have to be a member of Curves to help us out in this competition. Take canned food or non-perishable foods or cash to our Borger Curves at 515 N. Main from March 1-31. It must go to Curves to count for the competition. Help us win! I know we can do this!! And would you please help us get the word out? We want to win! (We love a good competition!)

Of course, we love a good competition and want to win, but the people we help at Living Water will be the true winners!
