Up and Going

On Thursday, April 10th, 2025 the Up and Going met in the Fellowship Hall for the monthly meeting and to prepare a very important yearly project, one of our favorite projects.

Team Leader, Helen greeted and welcomed everyone. The Fellowship Hall was pretty with spring and Easter decorations. Helen gave the devotions, reading the Easter story from Matthew, chapters 27 and 28. Devotions ended with prayers and thanksgiving for our meal.

A delicious covered dish meal was enjoyed by everyone. It is surprising the variety and wonderful tastes available for our enjoyment. Special thanks to our great cooks.

After lunch everyone jumped in to fill the Easter Bags for Hospice. Twelve members worked diligently and with amazing efficiency to fill each bag with approximately one pound of goodies. Special “Thank You” to all who brought goodies for the Easter Bags. At 2:00 PM, 144 Easter Bags were filled, everything cleaned up and put back in its place and the bags ready for delivery.

Fifty bags were delivered to Lutheran Hospice at White Rock and the balance to Prisma Hospice on Colonial Life Boulevard, Columbia. Both facilities were so excited to receive these Easter Bags for their Hospice patients, so often forgotten. Huge “Thank yous” were received by Ann Lindler and Helen Lindler as they made deliveries. What a grand and glorious day this had been!!! Sincere appreciation to everyone who helped make this project such a wonderful success.

May meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 8th at 11:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall. Lunch will be a covered dish meal. See you then.
