This past weekend our church held a Day Of Service and we had such a wonderful time having a day in the park where everyone was invited ~ we had food, facepainting and so much fun. We have been holding a clothing drive through our church as well to send to Haiti ~ we started after the devestating earthquake and are very close to having it all sent over.
Our Day of Service was organized under the direction of Elder Walter F. González, who presides over church affairs in the southern United States. He challenged over 665 congregations from Florida to Indiana to join forces with other faiths and civic organizations to render significant community service in what is being called “The Helping Hands and Linking Arms Project.”
Elder González said: “It’s powerful when like-minded people join together to meet a wide spectrum of needs in diverse communities. We can bring help and hope to others no matter what their circumstances.”
I was dressed for a day of fun in the trenches and lots of facepainting!
Two of my friends drove up from another part of Florida to come and Serve! We had so much fun.
There were quite a few ladies that volunteered to paint faces too!

I just loved seeing the children come to sit and get their faces painting - excited to get it done but even more excited when they saw themselves all painted up! Priceless!
