Birthday Celebration and Works of Art

Last night SSS celebrated our friends birthdays at the Homeless Overflow Location. The 60 or so cupcakes we served were delicious and fun to eat. Happy Birthday to our friends, S & B.

Later, children shared their beautiful works of art with us!

Food and Fingernails

Last Tuesday evening, a couple of the sisters served hor d'oeuvres to our friends at the homeless overflow.  It was like a meal in itself. After serving the food, Gail and Natalie painted about 12 hands of fingernails.
It was a peaceful evening with our homeless friends. We're so happy to serve them!

Saucy meatball, egg rolls, mini quiche, with veggies on the side.

Gail does lovely work on such small hands.

A young girl expresses her 2 loves with sidewalk chalk as boys play a boardgame.

Smoothies!

With 3 blenders going all at once, things went quite smoothly! *Pun intended.

The clients loved them.

Sisters Serving Smoothies

This coming Tuesday evening, the Sisters will be serving up smoothies at the Overflow.
It was a year ago this month that the Sisters took their blenders and some tasty fruit to whip up some smoothies for our homeless friends.  We had so much fun as we set up 4 blenders in the Overflow's kitchen and blended up a storm.  Our homeless friends loved it!

SSS Independence Day BBQ/Picnic With Our Homeless Friends

It was a beautiful and sunny day as SSS celebrated Independence Day at a local park with a BBQ/Picnic on the 3rd of July. We enjoyed all the food and fun.  We served BBQ hamburgers, hot dogs, beans, potato salad, green salad, squash, chips, drinks and decorated cupcakes!
Our sister, Melodee provided the craft for the kids (decorated bandanas). Volunteers played soccer, tossed water balloons and played with the children.

But when you give a feast, invite the poor , the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Luke 14:13-14

Happy Birthday Love Letters To a Mother

Happy birthday to our homeless friend. Here are the happy birthday letters her two young daughters wrote to her for her birthday.

Serve Day & Breakfast for The Homeless

On May 15th SSS will be partaking in our local Serve Day!  We'll be leading a group of volunteers in serving the homeless.  Volunteers will be working hard as they prepare and serve breakfast and give the homeless a morning off from their shelter chores.

Preparing to Bless Their Mothers at The Overflow

Our Sister, Melodee brought Mother's Day crafts to the kids of the Homeless Overflow.  The Children crafted sparkling cloth gift bags and wrote cards for their moms.  The children didn't know that they were going to be shopping and filling their bags with gifts for their moms.  The children were excited to earn reward tokens to "purchase" their gifts from a boxed filled with assorted trinkets and useful items that women would love to have.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

Prov 31:30

It's The Simple Things In Life

Giving the Homeless underwear may seem like a simple little act, but it's huge to those we have served. They love it!

He Restores My Soul...

Here's a photo of Gail, who has just had a lot of fun playing with the kids of the Homeless Overflow. Giving a few parents a much needed break is one of many gifts that Gail certainly gives well! We thank God for Gail and all that she does to encourage and minister to our local homeless. God bless her.

We tell that He is Risen!

Matt 28:5-8

But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen , as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

Saturday morning, the day before Easter Sunday, SSS served breakfast to our friends at the Homeless Overflow. Fruit, Eggs, Bacon and Pancakes we on the menu! After breakfast we passed out gifts of candied filled eggs for the children, gift bags for the women and gift bags for the men.

When all that was finished, the Sisters held their Saturday morning bible study.  The topic of the study was "The God Who Helps", which spoke to each one of us.
We thank our Savior for allowing us to be used by Him in blessing the homeless and encouraging the homeless believers who attend our study.  Please pray for them.
