Is that our clothing closet? You can see the floor. Everything is neatly folded or placed on hangers.
No, it wasn't a dream. It was the result of some TLC from the youth of Salem Baptist Church. Twenty-one students plus chaperones converged on our ministry Saturday. We appreciate the Knoxville Leadership Foundation for sending them our way. They whisked the clothing closet into shape, sorted out the fall/winter clothes and put out the spring items.
In record time the kids sorted the ink jet cartridges & cell phones, repackaged the Mardi Gras decorations, folded a few hundred brochures and helped out in the food pantry of Strawberry Plains United Methodist Church.
What an impressive group of teens!
As a suprise appreciation, each person received a free mini-golf pass from Zuma Fun Center in Knoxville. They instantly started making plans on when to put these to use.
Many thanks to the youth group of Salem Baptist Church for making hope happen in Strawberry Plains. We hope you have a great time using those passes! Thank you also to Zuma Fun Center for allowing us to have those incentives.
