This morning's service included an opportunity to bring gifts for the Salvation Army appeal supporting families affected by poverty in our city.  I love that the stewards plonked the offering bags in amongst the gifts.  I love that by the time I took the photo, after worship, the table bore the remains of our monthly communion service.  I love most of all that The Gatherers gave so generously and so creatively: from toys for tinies to toiletries for teens and everything in between.  I'm always proud of "my" people, and today especially so.
