Lynchburg Daily Bread Ministry


On June 21 several of us headed up to Lynchburg, VA to prepare and serve a meal at Lynchburg Daily Bread, a place that many homeless and unfortunate people in Lynchburg come daily for a hot meal.

Along with a couple of guys for Encounter (Charlie Gielow's group) we spent the morning preparing and serving a meal of spaghetti with meat sauce, a salad with everything in it but the kitchen sink, bread, green beans and dessert. We also got to wear cool aprons (Dennis wanted to buy one). We also learned that they have a lot of reefer in the basement (now, don't freak out...that's a military term for refrigerator...)

That afternoon we did a little shopping, played a little guitar hero, read some funny stories and then it was off to a Lynchburg Hillcats baseball game (which was an incredibally amazing BLOWOUT!!!-see first inning scoreboard pic). While at the mall we learned something new about Ethan. The "love tester" in the food court rated him a "10" and dubbed him Ethan "Hot Lips" Clark (I'm sure he's getting ready to throw something at me if he could). Charlie, on the other hand, was rated a "3"...(insert hysterical laughter here). Well Ethan, I guess what happens in Lynchburg DOESN'T stay in Lynchburg!!!

What a fun day of fellowship and ministry. Thanks Caroline, Dennis, Ethan, Brandi, Serena, John, Mike, and Charlie for helping out with this ministry!
