Share Life - An Opportunity…

An Opportunity to Change Peoples Opinion of the Church

According to George Barna research, public opinion of the church is at an all-time low in America. The church can do two things in response to this reality. We can validate those opinions by shutting down, or we can confront them by challenging the misconceptions. One of the ways we challenge misconceptions is by showing the love of Christ by caring for those he cared for. Two examples were the sick and the poor.

“SHARE LIFE” is an opportunity to do just that. On Sunday, October 26th, we have an opportunity to give blood for the sick and gather food for the working poor. I encourage you to invite a friend or neighbor to join you on October 26th for a day of worship, fellowship and giving.

Everybody knows someone who is affected by cancer or another serious illness. Everywhere hard working people need help feeding their families. We can “SHARE LIFE” on October 26th. Bring a friend, bring a can of food, bring a dish to share at the potluck, and roll up your sleeves to give blood. All the food items are donated to the Hunger Defense Fund. The Blood Drive is co-sponsored by Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

Let’s join together to challenge the world’s opinion of the church so they see Jesus differently.
