If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together,
they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands
is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:10-12 NIV
A community united for a common cause this past Saturday and it was a beautiful thing to watch.
People came ranging in ages from 4-90.
People came with various skills.
People came from different churches and denominations.
People came with disabilities and limitations.
In total over 200 people came ... young - old ... male - female.
All of us came together to do what no one individual could.
The end result was over 48,000 meals packaged and prepped for distribution to those in our community and around the globe who are hungry.
For one morning ...
generations converged and conversed ...
neighbors reunited ...
a community united ...
faith led the way ...
And for one brief moment we became the hands of Christ in Hagerstown ...
