Brockton - December 20, 2025

It was a beautiful day in Brockton on Saturday. Temperatures were dropping after a big storm in Boston with a lot of wind and rain and a lot of power outages (including our home). So close to holidays always brings out a lot of churches giving away clothes and food. We served 87 meals of roast pork, potatoes, and veggies along with fruit and home baked goods. We also had a full complement of clothes, toiletries, and Christmas gifts. Our team included volunteers from: Church of Emmanuel, St. Mary's Foxboro, The Fellowship, Arabic Evangelical Baptist Church Of Boston, Grace Chapel

There is a long list of prayer requests:
