In February 2019, the United Methodist Women of Calvary UMC in Harrisburg along with our Youth Fellowship prepared Valentine bags for our shut-ins. The evening started with a shared meal prepared by the UMW. Afterwards the women and youth created cards, designed bags, and filled the bags with items that were donated. The women delivered the bags, which were greatly appreciated, to the shut-ins. Several shut-ins who could not speak or move had their eyes light up when members said the bags were from “their church.” Notes of appreciation were received from family members of shut-ins who received bags. This fellowship showed God’s love across generations.
