Team 19, 22 members from Good Shepherd in Inver Grove Heights spent the week between Christmas and New Year's in Ocean Springs. Thanks to the generosity of their congregation and Woodbury Lutheran members, they were able to haul and donate nearly a whole house of furniture to the Gray family — a blue recliner, dresser and buffet/china hutch for Grandma Lillian, two beds, a computer and desk, and a full living room set!
In addition to delivering the furniture, they brought boxes of Beanie babies to Lillian (she was delighted; Burleigh probably not so much) who, while the team was there, got the news she is now cancer free. They also had a nice visit with Buddy and Carol and celebrated New Year's Eve by serving a nice dinner to Jackie Hunt.
