Strayhand, wife o f the pastor. “ We also volunteer to work each week with Loaves and Fishes. This time we distributed 90 Love Loaves to members of our own con gregation.” “ We asked those who accepted the Love Loaves to place them on their dining tables and when they sit down to enjoy their meals, to drop in a coin to let some hungry person somewhere else in the world share a meal with them. We asked families to let table conversation include the children to let ideas flow on how the children can help to earn money to f ill their Love Loaves—maybe by- weeding the neighbor’ s yard, or gathering old newspapers to sell.” Many o f the persons who accept ed the Love Loaves were present on July 25 at the in-gathering of the lit tle banks.

His dream didn’t start with a professional goal. It started with a commitment, a commitment to social change and civil rights He'd seen enough growing up to know something had to be done. So he followed another man with a dream to Washington in 1963 And helped get out the votes in Mississippi in 1965. By the time he entered law school in 1968, <xher people had taken their dreams to the streets. Lawrence Cumberbatch hail a better argument. Change the System from within To get the power, he felt, you had to work tor it. Today, he's a David in the world o f Wall Street Goliaths.
