Scarlet Cord Friday Night Update, Feb 21st


Friday night at Scarlet Cord was amazing as usual. Conversations flowed and the community keeps getting stronger! Volunteers Melanie and Sandy took to the streets to invite the neighborhood to Scarlet Cord. They made good connections with several women and encourage the whole team to be in prayer for those we encounter each week. Cheryl and Jen stayed back to serve chicken curry (thanks to Greg!), salad, chicken wings, and pink cupcakes (love it Judie!). D was very late and had to eat and run since she was headed to work, but she appreciated the food and ate up. S came in screaming, "I'm a renter, I'm a renter!" S looked well and talked of the house she is renting with two others as well as her frequent attendance at AA meetings. She admitted to us that she has a problem with alcohol and is celebrating little victories along a path to kick her addiction. It was powerful to say the least! Please commit S to prayer this week asking the Lord to move. She also had a lot to say (for the first time?) about her relationship with a man. She has been with him for some time now and seems to be getting very, very frustrated. They postponed their wedding and she told a couple of stories of his insensitivity and anger. (another big prayer point!) S left with some hygiene product she was in need of and a full stomach (although the curry isnt spicy enough yet:)...Greg...I think that's a challenge!!)

Thank you all for your continued support of Scarlet Cord!
