soup kitchen

yesterday i went to serve at a soup kitchen in harlem. it was in the basement of a church, & i think we fed about 200 people. about 15 members from our church (mostly km) went to prepare & serve the food. & we gave out small bags full of Christmas presents. our km worship pastor led a really good time of worship. he plays some really impressive jazz-style piano. even though his english is not perfect, he was really good at getting different people to come up & sing on the mic. i got to share a short sermon before the meal. i think it's always a good experience to serve people in that setting. always eye-opening. & i have to admit that seeing will smith's movie, "pursuit of happyness", made me look at homeless people in a different light.
