Just a short note to say a big THANK YOU to the amazing team of bakers assembled from the congregation of Lynn Valley United Church. The team of bakers led by Marion Kirk and Joan Wenham has made a huge impact on those who come and grace our presence on the DTES. It's such a pleasure to witness every Wednesday evening as the lineup starts. You can physically see the sadness and darkness start to slowly dissipate and become smiles and thankfulness for the home baking that each of you so lovingly provide. Many of our Mission Family comment on how good it is, or that they cannot believe that someone would take the time out of their day to freshly bake cookies, muffins, and fudge (OH THE FUDGE!) for them. Many of the recipients have commented on how it makes them feel like they’re reliving their childhood memories of home. You have all assisted in expressing love and kindness in the lives of many who have never experienced these feelings for quite a long time. Some have never experienced this type of love and have a difficult time expressing themselves, but their smile says it all. We can tell by your generosity and the amount of effort that is made by each of you, that there is a lot of love in every piece of baking that is provided. Each of you has assisted in making the transition that much more bearable. Your Servants Hearts fit well with our mindset and vision for the future. With volunteers such as yourselves and our unwavering faith in Christ, we believe we will still be serving for generations to come. In closing, we continue to pray that God will provide many more volunteers such as yourselves and that you all will continue to serve with us for many years to come. Wishing you all a very Blessed Christmas and a New Year full of His Grace and Mercy. Thank You and God Bless
