We are really looking forward to doing something a little bit different at The Gathering's weekly Soup Kitchen this week...
Following a conversation with one of our Soup Kitchen regulars - who has recently started gathering with us on Sundays - in which he asked for money for a haircut, we got to thinking about how we could help without giving him money. The Gathering has quite a strict policy on not giving financial handouts for a number of reasons.
After chatting for a bit we thought about asking Remi a local barber and friend of Joel's from his church, if he would be keen on helping us with an outreach to our Soup Kitchen regulars, in which we would offer them a free haircut. Remi was immediately enthusiastic and so we agreed to do it this coming Thursday.
What a great way to bless some of our regulars and love them whilst serving them.
Thank you LORD!
I know my husband is very excited to serve God with you in this way!
