Servant's Heart of Indy
First Gala
September, 2023
If you didn't get to come to our first Servant's Heart Gala,
well you missed an amazing event. Thanks to all of you who did
come. Our Gala committee did a fantastic job planning and
setting up. Hornet Park Community Center was transformed into a
beautiful setting.
Rustic Root served a delicious meal.
Big thank you to Rafael Sanchez and Kaitlyn Kendall our emcees
for the night. Rafael got us started by reminding the crowd that
we were there to raise money by wearing a one hundred dollar
bill. Kaitlyn got so excited about the raffle. She helped sell
tickets. Rumor has it that she had some tickets in the buckets
too. Our purpose of the evening was to celebrate our past and
cast a dream for our future.
Our speakers Gary Stringer, Nancy Wilson, Kim Divine and Debra
Burke did just that. Gary recognized our sponsors. Nancy shared
about how we started a holiday outreach. And how South Grove
Intermediate School became a vital partner in our ministry. Kim
shared about how covid challenges in 2020 created a core of
volunteers that has become family. Debra told about how
Servant's Heart has become a "Blessing Network" to other
pantries and ministries on the southside. I shared our need of a
new space to grow our ministry by revealing a model of a 10,000
square foot building.
Servant's Heart is preparing to step out on a journey to build
this building. The Sanctuary Church has given us an opportunity
to purchase and develop a 2.33 acre plot at 2840 Mertz. We are
proceeding slowly one step at a time. We are through Phase 1 and
2. This Thursday September 14th at noon, Servant's Heart along
with Crossroad Engineers will be presenting our plan to the
zoning committee downtown. We are proposing to change the zoning
from D5 to SU7. We covet your prayers.
I believe God is preparing this spot right in
a neighborhood to touch this community in a mighty way. We will
need all of you to help us financially and prayerfully to
accomplish this new mission for our ministry. God used you all
on a Saturday in September to get the journey started by raising
over $50,000 dollars. Absolutely amazing
Thank you Jesus.
Come be the hands and feet of Jesus with us. It will change your
life and the feeling is priceless.
