Many of you may already know that I am involved with a group from my Church called Community Connections. It is a ministry that serves two communities near the Church and provides in partnership with the food bank groceries and hot meals once a week to roughly 200 people. Last night was our launch dinner where we got together and discussed what and how we can do better.
As part of the presentation Pastor Jeff mentioned; that we are called to be more than just a food delivery service, and Christ must be at the core of this ministry. Each one of us has the opportunity to make and impact in the community and allow God to do extraordinary things. There were a lot of fresh ideas shared and I am looking forward to implementing them. Our new Co-ordinator Penny is doing a great job at reconstructing the administrative side of the ministry and trying to streamline the whole process.
This weekend at APC's Sunday services we will be serving soup to the members in the hopes of raising awareness for the ministry and also recruiting new volunteers. I personally am hoping for the younger generation to step up and pitch in, it would be nice for the ministry to be able to relate on all age levels. I am grateful for the vision that has been shared by leadership and appreciate their support. It is good to understand the scope of the ministry and what we are trying to accomplish and make sure that everyone is on board and has the same vision. For how can we get to the destination if we don't have a road map?
So for all of those interested in helping out or learning more about the Community Connections Ministry I urge you to come visit us at the distribution bus for a cup of hot soup on Sunday. And for those who can't volunteer I ask that you lend us your prayers for the ministry, that God's will be done.
