Today our church, Creekside Christian Fellowship, closed their doors. Yes, you heard me right. All over Orange County churches were closing their doors and going out into the neighborhoods to serve. There were all sorts of opportunities- weeding, picking up trash at Bolsa Chica, picking produce, handing out water to runners for the OC Marathon, collecting food for Families Forward and even organizing at their warehouse.
This was our first year participating as a family. The kids were old enough to join in and we had a great time. We were at the Albertson's down the street from our house collecting food for Families forward. We handed out a nice flier that told about FF and what items were most needed. This great organization services over 150 low income families in South Orange County. The kids did so great passing out fliers and we thankfully had a great return!!
I was especially touched by those who had used an organization like FF in the past and wanted to give back now. Today was about being the hands and feet of Christ- serving the Lord by serving others!!
