Care Group Project

We have a wonderful Care Group! We meet every other Friday evening, kids and all, and fellowship, study God's Word and pray for each other. This past meeting, our group decided to do a little mission project. Each family brought enough "materials" to make 40 sandwiches of either PB&J or bologna and cheese. These sandwiches would feed the hundreds of homeless on the streets of St. Louis through Larry Rice's New Life Evangelistic Center. Our small group of 6 families made over 220 sandwiches in about a half an hour. It really did not take much time, effort or money to do something worthwhile. (The jelly was a little challenging to get off the floor but whose worried??)

Our Care Group feels led to put some feet to our teachings. Our kids need to see how faith can be put into action! Remember how Pastor Phil always says "More is caught than taught"? That is so true. We can talk about God every day and that is important! However, they are going to "catch" the fact that we DID something to impact the world around us. Actions speak louder than words!

So, I challenge your Care Group, Bible study, family...to see how the Lord leads you to put some feet to your words. We can all have an impact on the world and take the Gospel out! Sometimes a piece of bread and bologna is the vehicle for someone to hear the Good News that Jesus saves!
