Our team enjoyed the opportunity to help set up, serve as hosts, and clean up at New Albany's annual Taste event this past Sunday (8/17). This was a beautiful evening of great food, people enjoying spending time with each other, and a great jazz concert.
In order to keep building relationships in our community, I served on the Chamber of Commerce's Taste planning team. I wanted to be of service, so I volunteered our team in some areas that needed covered. What I didn't anticipate was that those that were slated to help clean up wouldn't show. I was so proud of our group as they went right to work to clean up over 600 chairs and 60 tables and collecting trash from the event. Our group worked tirelessly...several of us being there from 1p. until almost 10p.
Between the Taste Event and concert, there were several thousand people in New Albany's Market Square area. Our purpose was to serve with love in a practical way. This was a phenomenal opportunity to greet, in some cases talk with, and get drinks for people we want to love to Jesus. Many of us had good opportunities to interact with people about ClearView. We met new people and deepened connections with some existing contacts. Praise God!
Please pray with us that God would connect us to teammates and spiritually searching people we can minister to as we serve with love in our community.
