This morning, a team of eight of us from the ship visited a local homeless shelter called Grotto Home and lead them in a worship service. What lovely people! The home holds about 45 residents. The shelter receives a little bit of government funding, but is mostly funded by local generous supporters. The residents are all ages, from a variety of backgrounds. Some are physically handicapped, others are mentally handicapped, others have just fallen on tough times. The group was very enthusiastic and excited for us to visit. We very much enjoyed leading the service, but what was more special was connecting with them afterward. They were all so sweet and delightful. Praise God for such a wonderful morning!
Waiting for the service to begin :)
The men and women of Grotto Home were all seated and ready for us when we arrived! They were so attentive through the whole service!
After the service ended, this gentleman sang us a hymn. What a beautiful experience.
The manager of Grotto Home, Ann. She, along with two assistants, run the home. What a lady!
