Thanks and Giving to the poor

This past week we talked about God's grace for us, and how we don't have to walk in our short comings and failures. We looked at Peter and his relationship to Christ post resurrection and post denying Him 3 times. We talked about being "crowned with glory and honor" (Psalm 8:5) and how Jesus interrupts situations with grace (such as the women caught to be stoned for her sins). How we can walk in this grace and feel called and fit and actually BE Kingdom bringers!

So it was a good week...

          So this next week I thought we could put some of it into action. We will be giving Thanks this week and Giving this week, and we will be doing this with some of the more less fortunate and homeless right near our church in Scranton. I have tons of winter hats and gloves and socks to give out to people (or even if we just make it to the soup kitchen to pass out or drop off) and i think this will be good for us. Ministry opportunities  like this open us up and broaden our world view of what is going on so close to home. At the very least it will give us something to be praying for.

So let your parents know and think about it yourselves and i will be getting in touch with you guys this week about making this happen for sunday.

We will have Youth Leaders going with us, Pastor Matt Miller is willing to come as well, and we would be leaving at 9am from church and just walking down together. I will keep you all informed as the week goes on and i will be trying to contact parents and all that good stuff.
