Our small group worked together on the bus stop outreach for Love Cedar Valley again this year!
For those of you who don't know, Love Cedar Valley is a day that lots and lots of area churches work together to serve the Cedar Valley - to show them the love of God in unexpected ways. Some of these acts of love included - handing out free snacks, bottles of water, lunches, painting for those who needed help, yard-work, planting flowers, offering prayer, cleaning up trash, visiting elderly and giving them balloons, window washing and so much more! It is an amazing way for God's love to explode in a few short hours in our community!
We worked together the night before to prepare 300 lunches to give away to anyone who wanted one at the bus stop downtown Waterloo. We were able to give ALL of the lunches away in less than the hour and a half alloted time! People loved the free lunches! It was also very rewarding for us and the kids to give.
The KWWL news reporters were also out to capture the experience - Mark, Isaiah and Brian from our group made it on the news -- for some reason I was compelled to show you and took pictures of our TV. haha.
This is such a great day for everyone involved! I can't wait to do it again next year, are we at the bus stop again guys?? :)
