Thanks to all who helped out with our "Make A Difference" hats and socks drive. We had so many items to give away! The Youth Group wrapped them up into presents and last Saturday we handed them out to the homeless in downtown Portland. A lot of the teens mentioned that it felt good to give out the presents because they felt they were making a difference in another person's life, even if it was only a small gesture. Some of the homeless people we met were so happy to see us and were so thankful for receiving even just a pair of gloves or socks. They were all so nice and joyful as well. It's amazing to see all the hardships they have to go through and yet they are still able to be so joyful. The whole trip was such a cool experience and helped us all to really appreciate the many blessings in our own lives.
Check out the video of some of the pictures:

One of the greatest blessings in doing youth ministry is to witness teens living out their faith in action and sharing the love of Christ to those in need. It's one sure way of reaffirming their faith as well as our own. Great work! =)
