As a pastor, I have had the difficult task of coming along side people and families as they walk through cancer. In that time I learned the smallest things we do make the biggest difference. Nothing can eliminate the battles they face, but providing a meal or giving a ride or volunteering to baby-sit, or helping in the least way is being an instrument of God in relieving some of the stress they feel as they go through this experience.
One of the things most of us can do that is desperately needed is “GIVING BLOOD”. I invite you to join me on Sunday, August 26th, from 8 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. to “SHARE LIFE” by giving blood. E-mail us with times you are available or sign up at the CommUnity Center. This event is an opportunity to show the love of Christ by meeting a desperate need. Invite friends and neighbors to schedule a time to give also.
Let’s reach out to our community on August 26th. As a church family we will have our regular services at 8:45 and 11:00 a.m. and we will enjoy a pot luck and a time of fellowship between the services.
We also ask you to bring non-perishable items for the “Hunger Defense Fund” on that day. With the economy the way it is, the Hunger Defense Fund really depends upon our simple support so they can continue to help those in need.
Let’s join together on the 26th to be the Church, not just attend!
