Move That Truck!

We're one week away from unloading a semi filled with 30,000 lbs of food. Next Wednesday, May 16th, we're planning to bless hundreds of families here in the South Metro area by giving them free groceries! I'm so excited that I can barely stand it!

We went out today and handed out flyers to some of the apartment complexes near us -- people seemed to think it was a good idea! Some asked why we would give food away -- why would you do such a thing?

Briefly, here's why: Because it's what God is doing! We have seen and felt a lift in our church since the idea of this food shelf came about and when Second Harvest and Ruby's Pantry asked us to participate with them in this -- we simply couldn't pass it up! For the past few months our church has seen the number of people we help on a weekly basis grow from 1 or 2 families the first few weeks to 29 families that stopped in for help last weekend.

The weekend before a couple ladies in our church body cut hair and also did some sewing. We've started to give away gently used clothing. AND...all this ties in with our free oil change which is happening again this coming SAT.

God is on the move and He desires to pour out His blessings on people. We, as His people (the church!) are starting to gain and grow in our desire to bless/serve others. We are starting to really live out of a heart of 'otherliness'. We're starting to put others before ourselves. Read Philippians 2 and see if that isn't how Paul (the writer of the book) describes Jesus. We are to have that same attitude and to express that attitude as well!

Join us to receive food or to give it away! Simply submit a comment if you'd like to help us or if you'd like to stop by and pick up some food! Either way you'll be blessed! And so will we!
