hope springing

Last Saturday a small group of volunteers from church decorated the dining hall of one of the Detroit Rescue Mission buildings.  Thought I'd share a cute pic of how we were able to spruce up the room with some springtime cheer.  (Special thanks to the gals at Carrie's bday party the night before who helped me with the paper flowers -even though you griped about it :), I hope you can see what a big favor that was!)
 
Perhaps it will be a small reminder of the rebirth that we are about to celebrate during the Easter holiday, and at the very least, we hope that the clients there will feel loved and cared for.  The Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries provides so many basic needs and social services to substance addicts and the homeless, and they do so with the belief that the "glory of God will always lead us in the right direction" (website quote from their president, Chad Audi).  Amen to that!
 
P.S.  Please read about their awesome new restaurant venture that will help to provide skills-training to their clients in Highland Park  http://www.drmm.org/restaurant.html .
