What an incredible day May 31 was for our church. When the call went out for people who were willing to help others, to show their love of Christ by being His arms and legs for a day, the response was overwhelming. Almost 650 people went out on 43 projects and served those in need.
From food and clothing drives for the homeless, to painting and repairing Bible camps, to helping organizations for battered women and those with crisis pregnancies, to reconstruction projects for inner city folks in need, to helping the families of those in the military, to assisting the physically disabled, the list goes on and on. We had 50-100 people just walk on to projects on Sunday to join in helping serve those in need. Later in the day, incredible testimonies of service and life transformation were shared at our evening worship celebration and dinner.
It is an honor to be a part of a group of people that desires to love God by loving the people He loves - who society may have outcast, forgotten, labeled “undesirable”, or simply ignored their need. It’s great to see that we are a church that doesn’t just go to church, but rather, to seeks to BE the church.
Thank you to all who worked behind the scenes to help make this day a huge success (in God’s eyes) and to those who served so faithfully and lovingly on Sunday! I am honored and humbled to be counted among you.
