Fall Ministry Projects Continue

PUBLISHED IN THE EVANGEL // October 25, 2007


by Rus Roach, minister of pastoral care

Our fall service projects continue. They began with the Habitat House build in September. Last Sunday (October 21) Hannah Abebe received the keys to her new house. We gave her a clothes washer and dryer as a move-in present. Over 100 of us helped to construct her house.
The Community Medical Mission at the Church of the Messiah continues as you read this (October 25 - 27). You may still have time to participate. It runs from 8 A.M. - 4 P.M. every day and would be worth your seeing, even if you cannot stay long to volunteer. Our relationship with Messiah is three plus decades long. We rejoice in their new building and in the phenomenal growth of their congregation.

Elsewhere in this Evangel is information regarding Room in the Inn which begins next Sunday night. Your class or department needs to get on the host list as soon as possible by contacting the RITI coordinator, Teresa Phillips, via e-mail at smithT@wcschools.com.

Part of the desire of the Missions Committee is for every Sunday School class or department to have an ongoing missions emphasis. You probably need a designated "missions person" to help you plan your projects or partner-ships. Christmas season is approaching and that means Operation Christmas Child (fill a shoe box), Nashville Baptist Association Toy Store, adopt an angel for Salvation Army or a local prison-related family. There are many opportunities for your group or your home to get involved in sharing the love of God with His people in the coming weeks. Do something intentionally to show He and we care.
