Today we had a big win! Our Toledo campus, which is where Keshia and I attend and work, sits right next to DeVeaux Middle School. A bunch of students walk over to our parking lot to get picked up everyday after school. Today we set up a table with some free cookies and hot chocolate and just gave it to students as they waited for their rides. We had a great response. We ran out of cookies and had to make more hot chocolate! It was really cold and a perfect day for handing out free hot chocolate. What you can't see in the picture is the group of students standing off to either side, or the parents watching from all their cars. One student said they aren't aloud to take candy from strangers, but hot chocolate doesn't count so I'll take two. haha.
What a great idea! Did any of the parents interact with you?
ReplyDeleteGreat job Brandon! I've heard it said that people aren't really looking for God, but for relationships that will ultimately lead them to God. What a great way to start relationships!
ReplyDeleteWe did have a few parents interact with us. The majority of parents sat in their cars and watched. We had one mom and her son who are both regular attenders jump in and help. It was cool to see them get excited, and to see one of our students serve.
