Hello everyone. We are planning a great time together for Thursday and hope that you all can make it!
Then on 5/1 we are planning our first community outreach night. This will be for the entire family, but we will still meet at McAlister Center at 6:45PM, unless it is posted otherwise.
We are batting around ideas right now. Several have surfaced. One is to try to go to one of the local homeless shelters or Lafayette Urban Ministries and volunteer for the evening. Another is to go to a local nursing home and hang out with some of the folks who don't usually get visitors. A third is to adopt one or two families - older folks or those in need and offer our assistance for the evening doing Spring cleaning, yard work, etc. - whatever they need.
Basically, we don't want to be a group of people completely absorbed with ourselves - we want to always be remembering that a huge part of our mission and focus is to be serving and caring for people - this is the way Jesus lived His whole life - even to His death!
We plan to be doing this kind of thing about every 5th meeting, so it is just part of our routine.
If you have ideas for what we could be doing 5/1 or on any one of these outreach nights (or for that matter things you'd like to see as a part of our regular times together) please post it, or email it to us at mjens93@insightbb.com
Hope to see you Thursday!
