Recently, she was asked to bake two dozen loaves for new families that registered with the parish from the end of September to the middle of October. Within just a few weeks, she baked all those loaves of bread. She is amazing. Mrs. Nelson usually bakes several loaves of bread at one time and delivers them to the parish where they are stored in a freezer until needed for new families. Even though she has been asked to bake up to nine loaves at one time, she loves her task.
Bread is so basic.
It's a wonderful ministry for me. This is a part of myself that I can give to people, and I am thankful that I have the opportunity to do something I like for others. Multiplying loaves Myrtle Sherman, a parishioner who has been making meals for families with Martha's Ministry for four years, recently saw the result of her efforts multiply in an unexpected way. We found out that one of our parishioners, a volunteer herself, was experiencing some family misfortune. She took a half-day off from work to prepare the meal and told her coworkers why she was absent.
