Hey Everyone! I wish you could have seen the mass of humanity, cars and trucks that descended on our property this week. Nevada County Food Bank sent a request asking if we could be the site for their satellite food delivery services once each month. I was amazed at how many volunteers it took to make this day happen. BTW, many of you responded to the email request that was sent and showed up that day ready and eager to serve. Thank you so much! These kinds of partnerships go a long way in allowing us to share the tangible love of Jesus with our community.
On a very related note, after our last food drive, the volunteers who delivered the food items you brought came back and mentioned to us that the shelves at Interfaith Food Ministry are alarmingly low. They have even reduced their delivery schedule because the need is greater than they can currently fill. Here’s what we’re going to do to help. We want to do an Easter Food Drive.
We will have bins available at all our entrances on Easter weekend. I want to ask you to bring a bag of non-perishable food with you as you come to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Will you help us make a huge difference in the daily struggle some are having just to feed their families? Let’s help encourage the people at Interfaith with a huge outpouring of generosity.
Thank you for the response to last week’s blast as I asked you to go out of your way to welcome those around you each Sunday. I saw a huge lift in energy in our auditorium and in the lobby. Let’s be the friendliest place in town!
Coming awake with you,
Pastor Ron
