Keeping the Outreach of
Blessing Bags Going
Make Bags this Sunday!
Sue Stebner has a passion for giving out blessing bags. We haven’t seen her at church much in the past couple of years, as she undergoes chemotherapy that keeps her isolated from others. But, she’s kept sharing Messiah’s message of love for the downtrodden anyway.
She ‘adopted’ Messiah’s Blessing Bags as her mission project and comes in from her home in Torrance to fill dozens of bags that she stocks in her car, along with cases of bottled water. Then she plans outings to areas where she knows there are homeless people on the streets and, wearing her mask, hands bags and ice water through her car window to grateful recipients. She handed out 25 Blessing Bags and 50 bottles of ice water in Riverside, where the temperature was 108 degrees during the last heat wave.
She’s also found another volunteer activity that she can do without being exposed to a lot of people: weeding landscaping around public buildings, such as the Torrance Post Office. “I get a lot of ‘God blesses,’ even before I can give them the same blessing,” she said.
Thank you Sue! We will have the Blessing Bag cart out this Sunday, October 2 if you would like to make some blessing bags to give to those in need and be the hands of Christ in action! Please share your experience! We'd love to hear about it. Send us an email/pictures here!
