Our call


“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4: 8-10


God tells us to love our neighbor by meeting their needs. We are to do this by using the gifts God has given us. All across the United States (and truly around the world) there are natural disasters that strike daily. This summer much of the damage from disasters occurred in the fields. All too often we feel that there is nothing we can do when things like this happen and although we cannot regrow the corn, or provide the all of the missing income for the farmers who are out the opportunity. However, we can stand up as brothers and sisters in Christ and reach out. We are to be sure our neighbors have enough to continue. We are to be Jesus. God has equipped each of you with skills and tools to help our neighbors. No matter what your skill set is, God has trusted you with these tools and skills and you can sure bet he is counting on you to use them to help your neighbors.
