It was a unique Sunday. Our first Faith In Action Sunday began with lots of people showing up to church in work clothes. They were met by seven young adults, proudly wearing their Faith In Action T-shirts. Very shortly after 9:00 AM, the narthex emptied.
What happened?
· 50 school kits were assembled; we also viewed a DVD on where the quilts and kits end up.
Timbuktu?
· 100 boxes of food were assembled and lots of shelves were stocked at the food pantry.
· 1 family in real need of home repairs was helped. Another family had lots of things
removed from their home and yard to help them get ready to sell the property.
· 10 of our homebound members received a visit.
· 6 of our members who live in a nursing home were entertained by our Sunday school
youth.
· 10 young adults saw their faith come alive.
· Our youth did some cleaning up and will do the Road Clean Up when it is sunny.
I think the best part was our worship time. The choir did a terrific job to set the theme with their song, “This is God’s Church”. The sermon was full of stories from people who went out and put their faith into action. Not only did those present feel proud to be a part of a church who puts feet to their faith but there was a spirit alive in the sanctuary that I would like to bottle up and open each Sunday.
Know that our Faith In action team is planning another Sunday.
