Clothes and Food for the Poor


Last night at our college and career meeting we continued our "Jesus Loves the Poor" teaching series by examining how giving to the poor figures into Luke's vision of discipleship to Jesus (more on that later). After the teaching, we participated in the Lord's Supper and laid our gifts for the poor at the foot of his Table.

I'm honored to announce that folks donated what appears to be several hundred dollars worth of clothing. In addition (and this blows my mind), we raised $174 to give to John 3:16 Mission to help them purchase turkeys for their yearly Thanksgiving outreach.

Thanks be to God!
