Last night, we had a great time in devotion to God at the home of Chris and Julie Bridges. Thank you both for opening up your home and feeding us some of the best Sloppy Joes that I have ever tasted. In the words of Chris, it had a certain 'more-ish' taste!
After a great time of singing, David Griffin spoke to us from his heart about how we invest too much time in the things of this world and too little time working and reaching out in our true calling as disciples of Jesus Christ. He sharedwith us the lyrics of a song that spoke to this and pricked his heart to action. The question was raised "why not start now?' and that is just what we did! We split up into groups and went on a door to door scavenger hunt asking for unopened jars of peanut butter, cans of tuna, canned vegetables, etc. to provide for families in need. It was a blessing to see the arms of Christ's body reaching out through these young hearts! Thank you, David, for your timely message.
