We started something new in the community today. The new chaplain from the local nursing facility that opened last fall called the church to ask for our help. He only needed a handful of volunteers that would come once a month to help transport “neighbors” from their rooms to the chapel service on Saturday morning.
Today was our day and six of us gathered to take him up on the opportunity. What a joy to meet folks and gently ask if they would like to attend chapel and wanted help getting there. No pressure. No expectations. No fear. Just invitation and serving.
It’s my hope we get even more involved in the community - soup kitchen, schools, neighborhood helping center, etc. Surely there is plenty for us to do and what a joy when we do it - for Jesus!
Blessings.
