Another GREAT Day

Knowing TAG was today Robin and I thought we may have a light amount of volunteers and we had a pretty good pile of mail to process. Each time the door opened to the Berean office we were thrilled  and soon the office was filled with the sound of happy volunteers joyfully serving. Below are a few pictures of our morning. The 3 readers today were Dave, Marvin and Bill.

Bill and Mark are in a discussion while below Marvin is showing Shirley an address to put on one of the studies. At the back table Chuck is applying labels while Bruce is opening the mail. Mom is reading letters. 

 Above Jeanette is getting ready to apply labels to the studies she is holding while asking Dave a question. Below Marvin, Mark and Dave are discussing one of the problems with computer program we are using. 

Above Jeanette and Rhoda are filling studies while Robin organizes them. Below Marvin is working on certificates of those that finished all 50 lessons. 

We stopped for lunch but after lunch went right back to work on getting the Bible requests ready for mailing. We had 82 Bibles go out in today's mail. Thankful for each and everyone that came today. What a wonderful group of volunteers all willing to serve where ever it is needed.

We Did It

We had such a good group today at the Berean office, all willing to do what ever was needed. Leila was put right to work helping Robin. We had an extra job come in from one of the nursing homes and thankfully had the helpers to help with it.
 Bruce was put to work stamping envelopes while Chuck opened mail and applied labels. At the other table were Gertrude, Glenna and Joyce all busy opening mail or applying labels. I was busy at the computer and didn't get pictures of Gertrude and Joyce. 
 The two Marvins were helping Kathy with the reading. We were pretty thrilled to have Marvin back from his long winter vacation. 
 Vonnie helps with everything around here from separating the studies to stuffing and helping with the intermediate studies. 
We had to get the Bible labels printed today so the Bibles could be mailed off today. Marvin moved from reading letters to entering data and we got that job done too. We had a good day getting everything done by noon. I just keep exclaiming, "we did it!"  The work needed to be done today as the office will be closed Wednesday and Thursday.  We also used up all the Bibles and will need another pallet on next Tuesday.

Tuesday & Wednesday

We had a lot of mail on Tuesday. Chuck is hard at work opening it below. He came in early bringing bottled water for the volunteers, lots of water. As soon as the water was put away we put him to work.
 Gertrude at 94 years old is our oldest volunteer. She faithfully drives to the office each Tuesday to help. She also takes home and grades all of the silver series that comes in each week. 
 Jeanette is the most enthusiastic volunteer. She brightens the office each time she walks in with her big smile and readiness to pitch in. 
 Below Jeanette and Joyce are hard at work applying labels to envelopes.
 Below is the 'dream team' These volunteers are more than just readers they step in to help where ever help is needed. 
 Robin is our go to person. We hear all day long, "Robin what do we do with this?" and of course she has the answer. 
 Below Chuck is hard at work stuffing envelopes. 
Our Tuesday group is so much fun to be with it makes it a joy to come to work.  The Wednesday group is in charge of entering all of the Bible requests for the week then mailing out those Bibles.  I forgot the camera today but Cindy, Carol, Robin and I got all of that work done this morning. I am very thankful for such wonderful willing helpers in this ministry. We had 121 Bibles go out today.
