Alleluia! Small Town, Warm Welcome

 This was our second trip to Wrightstown, Wisconsin, and once again, nothing but joy.  Many people remembered us from our last visit and were eager to catch up on the last two years. When you are without firm roots, this connection is sweet. 

Pictured here is Sammy, with her mom and dad, Krissy and Pastor Aaron.  She was only two months old when last we saw her.  

Alleluia  Lutheran in Wrightstown - do you see haRVey ?

 Alleluia hosts a food pantry once a month for families in the area. I visited with one lovely lady who was a food pantry customer while she was unemployed; and now she volunteers to pick up donations and help serve others.  She is thankful the pantry and people of Alleluia were able to offer her much-needed help.  I pray the Lord will continue to provide the help and encouragement to those who are in need. 

Once a month food pantry at Alleluia - guests can freely take what they need, bags are provided.

Workers getting the food set up

As the food disappears into grocery bags the tables are put away.
By the end of the morning - only one table remained.
