💛 A Heartfelt Thank You from Ivys Parties 💛
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who contributed, donated, and supported the Soul Food Brunch this past Sunday. It was truly a worthy cause and such a beautiful success!
Celebrating my birthday this way was a deeply rewarding experience because it allowed me to be a blessing to someone else. We often give to charities, trusting that our gifts will be used for good — but God reminds us that it’s more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). When we give with a cheerful heart, the blessings that return are beyond measure. 🙏🏽
Time and again, I’ve witnessed God’s generosity — how He gives back when we least expect it. To everyone who shared your time, energy, and resources to make the Soul Food Brunch a success, I pray that God blesses you a hundredfold and causes you to prosper in every area of your life.
A special shout-out to Pastor Cedric and Lisa Simmons of Bethesda Church for opening their doors and allowing us to host such a meaningful event.
Much love and appreciation to everyone who helped —
Pastor Love, Pastor Clinton E. III Ward, Valerie Black, Katrina Malone, Shaun, Ob Campbell, Oberia Campbell, Kemori (set-up), Ambry Ivy, Angela Ivy, Phyllis Harris Patricia Daniel Aretha Simmons (cookies), Teresa Morrison (Mississippi Roast), NC Donald (Lima & Pinto Beans), Karin Robinson (Caramel Cakes), Shavonte Black (Banana Pudding), Everett (cleanup) — Ivy's Parties dishes: ribs, chicken, pork chops, greens, cabbage, spaghetti, mac & cheese, dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cornbread, pineapple, and blueberry cheesecake! 😋
