Right before Thanksgiving, The Mill Church Edgar made an effort to intentionally reach out to and love on the Edgar School District, serving the school staff by bringing in a free breakfast of Panera bagels and Redwood Street Roasters coffee for the entire staff - janitors, secretaries, teachers, support staff, and administrators. We also shared the following video with them made by some of the students who attend both the Edgar School District and either 1) the Mill Church Edgar or 2) the Mill Church Shift Youth Group and some adults who currently work for/have worked for the Edgar School District:

We received over 25 messages of thanks and gratitude from the Edgar school staff. Here are just a handful:

• WOW. A sincere thank you for your kindness. 
• Awesome video.  Thank you, Mill Church for everything! 
• A BIG thank you to the Mill Church and to you for putting this on! Happy Thanksgiving. 
• That's awesome! Please thank the Mill Church for doing this for the school!!
• Wow! That video was an amazing way to start the day! Thank you for that and the breakfast :)
• Please extend a Thank You to the Mill Church family! The bagels and coffee were a delicious treat. It is very nice to be appreciated and recognized. Enjoyed the video. Another reason I love our community :).  Hopefully, we keep imparting the kids with this feeling of a community here at school and larger scales. Have a great Thanksgiving. 
• Wow, what a wonderful video!  It isn't easy to stand in front of a camera...(I broke out in hives once when I had to do a TV interview, so I know!), but your students were brave and so appreciative. A thankful heart is a beautiful thing to see in this world that is often filled with anger, pain and unthankfulness.  Thank you for your Thank You's and the delicious coffee and bagels....what an unexpected and special treat! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
