Thinking about Thanksgiving brings visions of turkey, stuffing, veggies and that oh-so-good home-made pie. It sounds delicious!! For some people, however, celebrations like Thanksgiving can be painful because of the lack of funds, family or a place to even eat around a table. Sometimes the ‘family’ is untraditional. Gate 3:16 works to provide that environment where people of Oshawa can find a place of belonging. They provide holiday meals where people can enjoy a family time together.
At Hope Fellowship we have a group of girls who have made it their joy this Thanksgiving to bless the clients of Gate 3:16 with pumpkin pies.
I have trouble baking one or two pies, but these girls had tables, bags of flour, and pitchers and pitchers of pumpkin pie filling. They mixed, kneaded, rolled and assembled enough pumpkin pies to serve at the Thanksgiving Dinner held at Gate 3:16
Any time I have visited GEMS in the past, I have known that our girls belong to an amazing group. A group where the love of God is modeled through relationships with each other and also to others.
Thank you to the leaders for being an inspiration to our girls.
Girls, you Sparkle and Shine. You are GEMS.
