Humanitarian Efforts Review

Mormon Messages: Bishop Burton - Humanitarian Efforts Review

This is an inspiring and heart warming address from Bishop Burton about the wonderful impact our service is making.

"As ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40) and "Remember in all things the poor and the needy" (D&C 52:40)

Thank you for your daily acts of service.

Soup Kitchen Update

Following the initial inquiry as to the days and times that work best for you all to serve a meal at the Soup Kitchen at St. Vincent De Paul, we have arranged 4 dates when we can serve.

Friday, April 17 - Dinner
Thursday, April 23 - Dinner
Tuesday, May 12 - Lunch
Tuesday, May 19 - Lunch

We can send 7-12 people to each opportunity. Volunteers must be 10 or older. We need to confirm the number of people that will be attending, so please comment on the blog, or mark the list that will be going around Relief Society and Young Women.

Thanks! I think this is going to be so rewarding!

Spring Hygiene Kits a Success

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success.

Thank you especially to the Torre Pines High School National Honor Society, and the Young Women and Relief Society of the Del Mar Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Thank you to the countess, anonymous donors who gave loads of hygiene supplies to the foster students of San Pasqual Academy. Thank you to the women who gave of their time to pack the kits. We had tables full of (awesome) hygeine supplies (I would love to be on the receiving end of this :)), and had to make two trips to San Pasqual Academy to deliver all of the Spring hygiene bags.

Terry Summerhayes delivered the hygiene bags to the teachers at San Pasqual Academy, and the sight of so much generosity brought tears to their eyes. What a blessing it is to participate in the service of our fellow beings!

Here are some pcitures of the packing!
