P.S. to my blog posting on Northfield Shares A Dinner.
I learned from a friend who was working the registration table that no one was turned away from the event. People who were on the waiting list were notified that they could come down and eat, and others who “just showed up” could also get a purple wristband and look for empty seats (no-shows) and sit down to eat. Many people commented on how welcoming that felt…not to be turned away.
All in all, Northfield Shares a Dinner shared dinner with about 1,200 people, and there were a few leftovers. It’s likened to the Bible story of the loaves and fishes in Matthew 14: 13-21.
Way to go, Northfield!
This is amazing. No one turned away. Yes, way to go, Northfield.
And that image, simply stunning.
I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this. I went to the re-cap meeting and heard wonderful stories.
It was a wonderful event. I was glad I was given an opportunity to say thank you to those who made it happen.
Good for you. I know the leaders appreciated all feedback, and encouragement.
