Volunteers from Seattle Pacific University

In the beginning half of Memorial weekend, we hosted 60 college aged women here at City Impact.
Every year, on the same weekend, City Impact anticipates the arrival of these college students!
They drove here in multiple cars all the way from Washington State, where they are students at Seattle Pacific University.
They spent only 24 hours with us, but they certainly made every moment count! Some of them participated in our on-going construction, while others delivered groceries during home visits to our surrounding neighbors. Actually, they delivered 200 bags of groceries as well as 560 hot meals!
It was wonderful to have them here, and we look forward to their visit next year!

Pictures will be posted soon!!

A crowded night

As it nears the end of a month, people are out of money and anticipating the arrival of their checks on the 1st; and all of us at the Rescue Mission are anticipating a large number of those people to come in for dinner. On April 28th 110 people attended our evening service/dinner. The month still had a couple of days remaining, so though we were expecting a lot, we were not expecting 110!
Our eyes got bigger and bigger as more and more people came walking in at 4:00.
There were only a few of us running everything that day, but God caused everything to work in an orderly fashion and He kept a calmness in the building.
When the pews were filled, we set up tons of extra folding chairs. Not a single open seat was left.
After everyone crammed in, we had a great time of worship followed by a quick sermon from Pastor Ralph. We had just enough food for everybody who came through our doors to receive a large dinner!
