4. Reflecting on the Gospel, Reflections and Meditations… Helps me understand it better. Little things we do can mean a lot to someone else. Robbie Every meeting we have a Sunday gospel to read and to reflect on. We discuss what the gospel means to us. This helps us to a kind of piece together what God is asking us to do in the society and gets us closer to being with him in heaven. Henry 9-22-09 Jeanne M Harper jmharper1964@gmail.com

10. School Service Project Thanks to my religion teacher, Mrs. Ellison, I got to work at the Saint Vincent de Paul Store. I had fun when I did that, so I decided I should join…The Society. Morgan..Help on projects like painting the stairs, or stocking the food pantry, or just carrying boxes around upstairs. Henry 9-22-09 Jeanne M Harper jmharper1964@gmail.com

11. My favorite part being in SSVdP is helping the poor, and being in a deeper relationship with God. You don’t only act as God or Jesus would in the meetings and working at the store but you also help people in public because that is what Jesus would do… Morgan 9-22-09 Jeanne M Harper jmharper1964@gmail.com

12. Food pantry and working at the store…make me feel like I am really doing something and not just sitting around. Robbie 9-22-09 Jeanne M Harper jmharper1964@gmail.com

13. Reasons I like to work at the store is… because it is a good feeling to be helping people and having fun at the same time. When we are at the food pantry we go down stairs, pick up what we are having a shortage on in the pantry, bring it up and restock the shelves and the cooler.

16. Being a Vincentian is about acting and behaving as Jesus did… We do all we can to help the poor, needy, helpless, suffering, and the deprived, so that they can live life knowing there is someone that can help in some way. We also need to pray to God for forgiveness and to ask him for help. We believe that all people make mistakes and that nobody is perfect or ever will be except God. Morgan 9-22-09 Jeanne M Harper jmharper1964@gmail.com

17. Fun while we work & help… We have so much fun talking while we work and sometimes singing, while helping people at the same time. We also have fun just looking around the store when we are done.
