DON’T JUST GO TO CHURCH, BE THE CHURCH

Hello everyone,

As I reflect back on this past Sunday, I just want to say thank you to so many of you for an incredible day! It was really something to see so many people from our church go out into the community to do an act of kindness and share God’s love in a practical way!

It was great to come back to the theater afterwards and share so many positive stories with each other too! Imagine how many people we touched! It was a first for many of you too. And, it was really something for me to hear how much you enjoyed going out.

I was at the Tuesday group at Aqui tonight and Carminha, the owner, mentioned that the owner of the cigar store next to her was so excited to get the doughnuts. He came running over to Aqui to tell Carminha how nice it was for a church to do this. Carminha said, “I know, I got some too!”

One of the most awesome comments to me was that people in our church got to know each other even better too as they carpooled together.

My hope and prayer is that the Lord has planted a seed in our hearts about people all around us that God loves and wants us to reach out to them in simple, loving, caring ways.

Thank you everyone! And, I want to say a special thanks to Krispy Kreme for giving us a great price and awesome service. And, thank you to Josh, Janna, Nate, Larry, Anne, Angelo, Teresa, Jamie and Trish for helping to organize the teams that morning too.

Let’s keep praying and loving our community together as a church.

Warmly,

Dan
