We
are striving each and every day to be Jesus followers. Kind of
difficult at times, eh? Well, yes it is. That whole loving your enemy,
praying and fasting, reading the bible,
and doing good thing has its share of problems. Yet, in all of our
attempts to follow Jesus, we must remember the night that he gave
himself up for us. Not only did he share the bread and the cup, but he
also bent down and washed his disciples feet. This act
of servant hood is a call for us to serve others in our desire follow
Jesus. I believe our grace-infused efforts do not go in vain. Let us
find hope in that!
Two BIG Things!
This weekend, there are two things happening that we want you to know about. First, this Saturday will be our next
Campus Kitchen Project (food recovery hunger ministry). We want your help! Please consider helping us prepare the food beginning at
3 PM. The prep will continue until 6 PM. We will serve at Regency
House (5201 Connecticut Ave NW) beginning at 6:30. You are invited and
encouraged to join us for prep or serving. We could use your help for an
hour or for three hours. Whatever you can
give. Please consider coming to the St. Luke’s Mission Center this Saturday, May 19
to help us feed others. Not only do we serve others, but we have a lot
of fun in the process! If you are able to help, please RSVP to
David Hackney by Friday.
Then, join us
for worship on Sunday at 5 PM and plan on hanging around for our community pot-luck dinner.
This is a great chance to continue our conversations in an informal
setting around the table. As a part of this meal, we will invite you to
also come out to the community garden and plant the seedlings that were
started during the season of Lent. It is
our hope that this garden space becomes a place where we can bear fruit
so that we might feed others. Please bring your favorite dish to share
with us at the pot-luck dinner. If you get the chance, please
let me know what you might be bringing!
**Please
note, the Crossroads community is scheduled on the third Sunday of the
month to provide dinner for the residents of the St. Luke’s Shelter. Our
potluck meal
will be that dinner this week. So, come ready to share what you have
with others!
I look forward to seeing you once again this weekend. I can’t wait to see how God is working through us to bless others!
Joy and Peace,
