The blood drive with our Boy Scouts on Monday, November 12 was a good start for an annual event. I’m working with the Red Cross to get us in the rotation. That way we won’t be scheduled too close to other drives in our area and donors will be able to donate regularly. We had 14 donors who were able to give and several who were deferred for different reasons, so we almost made our goal of 17. Thanks to our members and scouts who helped! I really, honestly couldn’t have done it without you!
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
