30 pounds per hour!!

I think we set a record on Saturday, but I can't find the category in the Guinness Book of Records.
We experienced our first Saturday at the Day Center and it was packed. We have joined forces with another church to meet the needs on the 3rd Saturday of each month. This was a special meal, the other church provided deep fried turkeys and we provided all the traditional Thanksgiving sides.
A total of 105 pounds of turkeys were cooked AND eaten in 3.5 hour period. As fast as they could be cooked and sliced, they were eaten. We ended up serving 50 homeless friends this past Saturday. We did not take any food home, it was all eaten or taken back by the homeless friends.
The cool thing was that we had a whole different set of people serving from our church than we do on our other day, the 3rd Monday. As usual, God was present and our volunteers were blessed.
I had to run to the store to get drink mix and cups and was accompanied by a new Homeless friend. This guy is only 25 years old and knows the Weis like the back of this hand.
I ended up sharing Jesus with a new guy. He is very smart and is approaching Jesus in a very analytical way. I told him I would bring him a book when we serve again on Monday. I hope he shows up - I will bring him a copy of More Than a Carpenter, by Josh McDowell.
