St. Hilda’s, ANiC has a lot of artists in its congregegation. A couple of times per year, the artists put on an Art Show as a community outreach and to raise money for World Vision. The latest Artists for Africa was held on St. Hilda’s front law in June; a percentage of the proceeds will go to World Vision:
Every Friday St. Hilda’s ANiC feeds about 200 schoolchildren; they hear a short gospel message and sometimes they ask for prayer.
Friday was the last Freebie Friday before the summer.
200 hotdogs were served, some wonderful bread from Artisano’s – peanut butter, lots of potato chips, and fruit punch.
Three of the ladies were celebrating their last Freebie Friday as they head off to Western, Waterloo, and Mac next year, and one of the boys is going into the Coast Guard Service.
In the first batch of kids were 4 newcomers who arrived because they heard the words “free hot dogs”. They were stunned at the numbers of their buddies, and the friendliness of it all. They said they would start out with us next September.
The lunch always ends with the phrase, “have a great weekend – and remember that God loves you, Jesus loves you, and we love you, too.”
