5/1/8

Hey everyone! This coming Thursday will be our first community outreach meeting! We are planning to have about every 5th or so of our meetings as directed toward helping someone besides ourselves!

This week we will be going to the house of a friend of mine's mother and father-in-law. His name is Chris. He's a great guy that I play hoops with on a regular basis. His father-in-law has had a heart transplant and is in and out of the hospital a lot and they could really use some help around their house. We will be boxing/bagging up things and moving things and generally helping them out in any way we can. It is a really good chance to show, not just talk about, what the love of God does to someone's heart - it certainly has changed mine!

We will be meeting in the parking lot of McAllister (see previous posts for the google maps link)at 6:45 PM and heading over to their house, kids and all, to hang out and help them, then to have a snack - Chris tells me that his wife makes phenomenal pumpkin bread - and then share communion together. It should be an awesome time!

The only thing Chris thought we should bring was boxes. I will check with him and see if that is still the case in the next couple days.

Hope that your days are full of searching for more than the usual more!

blessings to you all and see you Thursday!

I think this is so awesome! We are hoping to join you that evening.
Melissa is one of my best friends in the whole world and I know this would be a huge blessing to her family! I'm so glad you shared this with Dana.
Thank you!!
