    Winter Clothing Drive

    I first want to thank our church family for donating over 17 large bags full of warm clothing. Around 24 of our high school students and adults partnered with the Hub last Wednesday, February 18, to distribute warm clothing items and to serve a meal. We also enjoyed a couple games of bingo, which allowed us some one-on-one time. We had a great time giving food and clothing to those that are in need, which opened our eyes to the fact that we have a ministry opportunity/obligation right here in our backyard. I believe we were able to serve and love around 50 people, and we hope to do this once a month or every other month in the future.

    As I reflect on our time there, I am reminded of the passage in Matthew 25:31-46. “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (v.40)
