I feel really blessed by our efforts to extend the borders of the kingdom this past Sunday at House Church. For those not able to be present, I asked everyone to bring 5 $1 bills. I had 5 different envelopes...one for an orphan in Brazil, one to adopt a homeless man or woman at the Union Gospel Mission and sponsor them for 16 meals, two envelopes for two different folks who are out of work, and one for a friend who is desperately ill and often controlled by her husband. We were able to put about $30 per need in an envelope simply by everyone bringing 5 $1 bills! Awesome!
If you couldn't come, or would like to add to any of these envelopes, please bring some cash Sunday - I will have all the envelopes available, and then I will deliver the gifts with help from some of you this next week!
If you haven't been to the Greatest Gift Catalog Ever site, check it out at http://www.thegreatestgiftcatalogever.org/ You and your family can give real life gifts to needy folks right here in our own community this Christmas.
This Sunday we will be discussing Luke 22:7-38, and sharing our meal together during our normal House Church time. Hope to see you all then!
