Feeding the 500

Today was a very exciting day for the Christian Legal Society! We fed the entire law school... Well anyone that wanted to come by and get food that is. We had enough food to feed around 500 people and at the end of our event there was food for 20 or so left... We have no idea how many people actually came but I estamete it was between 350 and 400.

The weather was absolutely beautiful and the event could not have gone better! We wanted to feed the law school as an act of love and service. We got the idea from Jesus... And I hope and pray the people were satisfied today as they were 2000+ years ago...

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand:

Matt 14: 13-21
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food." 16 Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." 17 "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered. 18 "Bring them here to me," he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Thanks to all the students, faculty and staff that came out and ate... You made our event a huge success!!!

And praise the Lord for allowing us to raise the $3000+ dollars necessary to host this event. All the glory to God!
