Easter - Social Welfare Services

The joyous Easter Worship Service was held at Devon Church by the Sunday School children with many newcomers and long lost old friends. There is no Christianity without Jesus’ resurrection, so Easter is the most important celebration day for the Christian.

To commemorate Easter, Devon Church collected from the congregation used good condition clothes and foods for North Park Friendship Center (“NPFC”).

Collected bags in the church basement

Dr. W. and Mickey sorted the collections and distributed them to the center couple of weeks before the Easter.

The desk with computer by the entrance, where they interview their clients

At the back of the building, there are clothing and shoes storage room.. Volunteers are working to sort the clothing, and giving them to their clients.

Food storage shelves
Many volunteers are also working in this area. It is good to see the can goods are piled on the shelves.

Refrigerators – Devon Church collects dry foods only, especially canned meat and rice.

For Christian, this is an honor to do the Social Welfare Services. Read this Bible verses:
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
II Corinthian 9:7
