For CSM, particularly for our Food and Resource Ministry efforts (marshaled by Rhonda Marshall), New Rising Star's annual Operation East on Easter weekend is HUGE! We help with the logistics and resources they need to serve 500 families in need with FREE food and clothing, along with other services... and a massive dose of Jesus!
Nutrition interns helped to develop recipes that corresponded with the contents of the frozen food boxes and the dry goods and fresh breads grocery bags. There was securing, planning, packing, delivering, distributing, hot dogs grilled for the staff and volunteers, and lots of prayer... some of the parts and pieces of all that happened behind the scenes for days and weeks leading up to the big event.
Willie made multiple truck deliveries and helped pass out all 500 frozen boxes from the back of the CSM truck along with church members who were there, loving on their neighbors and teaching us all what it means to live out our faith and make a lasting impact on your community.
It was an amazing, well-organized, and well-received ministry event. The love and excitement was palpable, and we are privileged to come alongside NRS to impact their community for Christ. We are excited that we got to play a small part of what God is going to do at the Star.
