Hunger Awareness Team Meeting 5/1

This team spearheads Hunger Awareness within the church and organizes the activities Creator undertakes as a community to help the hungry. The desire to make something happen was strong with our members from the beginning. There has been a great success beyond our initial expectations as to what we have been able to donate to the Oregon Food Bank.

Since coming together the team has organized a volunteer effort to pack food at the OFB in January and is planning another in June. There have been other events in the past and planned for the future to keep Creator aware of what we can do to help.

Today’s meeting, like most, is comfortable and focused. I respect David Biggam’s low key leadership. His comments foster enthusiasm for the team’s projects and the no-nonsense, cut-to-the-chase efficiency of what we do is due in no small part to him.

My wife is part of the team as well as Vera James and both attend today’s meeting along with Pastor Dayle. Both Mary and Vera contribute to keeping our efforts realistic and practical. Each has an eye for detail and both have good memories for what has already been discussed and agreed upon. It is clear Pastor Dayle shares and also inspires this group’s commitment to the work that needs to be done. So far there is a strong, infectious optimism these meetings always kindle.
