Lighthouse Thanksgiving Meal
We want to THANK the Lighthouse crew for allowing us to share in the Thanksgiving meal service on Monday. It was an incredible experience for the SoCal Team that will leave an imprint on the hearts of each person we met.
Lighthouse is a non-profit organization for individuals with special needs (ages 12 and up, with mostly adults). Once a week, they meet together, play games, sing songs, and listen to a brief encouraging message. The volunteers that work on a weekly basis are full of love, joy, sincere compassion and care for each and every person there. They give their whole hearts to serving and creating an environment where those with special needs can feel safe, loved and express themselves freely. And freely they did…
My favorite part was seeing them sing loudly and dance with all their might to worship songs. You could tell their spirits were uninhibited and joyful in the biggest sense of the word! I loved it and will never forget their sweet faces and beautiful voices!
On behalf of Dave and I, we want to thank our SoCal Team for using your gifts and care and helping out where needed. You made a difference that night! We also want to thank the parents for allowing us to share this special night with your children. Finally, thank you to those that come to Lighthouse. You brightened our evening and brought smiles to our faces that didn’t fade till the next day. We can’t wait to come back again!
If you would like to volunteer at Lighthouse on Monday nights from 7pm-8:30, please email Jeanne at socalconnected@yahoo.com.
