Sin City Sent

I have two favorite cities: Las Vegas, Nevada, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
I know, both are party cities, but I can assure you that’s not why I go. I go because it’s sin-filled.
Growing up a church kid, I went on mission trips. I’ve traveled to Haiti, Wales, Anchorage, Talladega, New Orleans, and Las Vegas. But before I managed to do all of that, the Lord had to open my eyes to a few things first. And one was the story of Jonah.
There’s a Bible story I learned about in pre-school. It’s the story of a whale and a man who wanted to run away from the Lord’s calling. The man didn’t want to go to the city God called him to because he thought the people were too bad. In the VeggieTales version, they were too smelly. But I suppose either work. Simply put, he did not want to go to Nineveh because of its wicked inhabitants.
In spite of the many ways that COVID-19 has made life unpredictable, Oakcrest students have continued in their dedication to service. This year students have found many creative ways to serve both those in their immediate community and beyond.
In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving break, students participated in a schoolwide Thanksgiving food drive benefiting St. Stephen’s Food Pantry at St. Jude parish in Rockville, Md. Oakcrest math teacher Jennifer Kilmer and her family, who are St. Jude’s parishioners, volunteer at St. Stephen’s Pantry. They first got involved over the summer when it was set up to bring relief to those suffering from the economic impact of the COVID-19 closures. Oakies brought in box loads of canned cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, instant potatoes and biscuit mix and donated enough food to feed more than 400 families Thanksgiving dinner.
