For far too long the church has been known for what it is against and that has in some ways alienated the world around us. They need to know that God and we are For them, not against them! Join us for a 3 part series entitled For, beginning June 27 and ending July 11th with a day of meal packing to feed people who struggle with hunger. This is going to be an incredible day of worship as we serve. Just show up at one of our service times and we’ll walk you through the details of how you can prepare a meal for those who need it. We hope you can worship with us throughout this series as we discover that God is for us so that we can be For God and we can be For others.
Today we had 4 Guest Speakers who shared about our partners for the meal packing we did, and how it was going to impact the people who received the food we put together for them. Richie Phillips spoke about IDES (International Disaster Emergency Services)and their ministry for Jesus in the World. Then we had Robert Lawson speak about Thrivent Financial, which were key to putting the funding together for the day. We also welcomed Diana Owens with Waves of Mercy Mission from Haiti who shared with us about the difference these meals make in the lives of those who receive them. After Diana spoke we had Jody England from IDES who facilitated the day come and share as we moved into the final stages of our packing time. Finally, we had Randy come up and talk to us about the meal pack at the end of the service as we finished our first meal pack. What an incredible day it was, and what a powerful impact we had on the world in the name of Jesus!
