March 12, March 12, March 12! |

At the end of Matthew 25, Jesus gives guidelines for how we are to treat people that are overlooked, ignored, that are the least of us.
- When we see someone is hungry – we should feed them
- When we see someone that is thirsty – we should give them drink
- When we see someone that is homeless – we should provide shelter
- When we see someone that needs clothes – give them clothes
- When we see someone that is sick – we should take care of them
- When we see someone that is in prison – go visit them
How about when we know that there are children in our county, even right here in our community that have no bed? We should Build them a BED! And that is what we are going to do. On March 12, we will partner with the Sleep in Heavenly Peace organization to build 25 beds. This will be a great Sunday because: you can come to worship in your comfortable work clothes; after church, enjoy a meal with the congregation in the Multi;
and after lunch, walk over to the Pavilion and work on the Bed project.
This will be the third time we have partnered with SHP. Their motto is “No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in our Town”. They build and deliver about 150 beds every year right here in Sullivan County, and you can help! We need people to unload wood, cut wood, sand wood, sand wood and sand wood, mostly sand wood. And people that have skills to put these pieces of smooth wood together into beds. We will also stain the pieces and brand the headboards with the SHP logo.
We are looking for 30 people that are willing to work for 3 to 4 hours on this project. We have already signed up 15 or so and need that many more.
While we can’t promise that you will have a fun time, we can guarantee that at the end of the day, you will be covered in sawdust and can take comfort in knowing that you will have helped the least among us.
In Christ,
Allen Booth

This past Sunday in worship, Tyler shared about how when we confess sin to God, it should be genuine and leads to reconciliation, and that God has an abundance of grace.
Here is a reminder of how best we can apologize to others and to God!
