Any Soldier packing party

Ok, so some of the staff drive well and some of the staff pack boxes well…

This morning 18 members of the Mt. Bethel staff went on a field trip and a good time was had by all. We had a fantastic time packing boxes at Mary and Ed Ettel’s home for the Any Soldier Ministry. The Any Soldier Packing parties are like nothing you have ever experienced. We all arrived in the Mt. Bethel bus (just like kids going on a field trip) it was very exciting - thanks to Mike Boyce for driving. Once we all piled out of the bus and into the Ettel’s home we were given our marching orders and then a wonderful breakfast. After we had sustenance (I don’t think any of us are about to blow away) we were off to fill the boxes - wow. This is a well oiled machine.

If you have not had the opportunity to help with a packing party you should definitely make this a priority. This is a local/foreign mission that we can all help out with. You can donate school supplies, lotion, soccer balls, candy and on & on & on… It was a great experience and we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time, and we got a yummy breakfast too - it doesn’t get much better than this.

You can see most of us in the picture.
Genia Crane, Heather Wood, Debi Wyatt, Sherri Juliani, Janis Caverlee, Ruth Curl, Sharon Wyland, Karen Jones, Kim McGarr, Susan Preece, Judy Green, Jamie Allen, Carey Akin, Krista Young, Mike Boyce, and me (Kibbie). Not pictured are Ali Grasty, Dan Boswell and Johnna Bain - they must have been inside still eating. Also, we had Sally and Bill Wenhold, Dik and Carleen Wesson and 2 guys from Chattahoochee Tech. Also, a big thanks to Tami Drukenmiller who stayed behind and held down the fort (and answered the phones).

Thanks again to the Ettel’s for having the vision of this ministry and also having the fortitude to make it happen.
