As
a result of sin in the world, we as a church body recognize that
we exist within an imperfect world; a world that is constantly
hurt by the effects of poverty, hunger, pain, and suffering. We
can't take care of everything, but we can make a difference.
We
are called to be God's people in a hurting world and represent
a God that ultimately concerned about our spiritual needs, but
our physical needs as well. We have an opportunity to be the hands
and feet of Jesus to our surrounding Abilene community by caring
for the needs of individuals and families in our annual Thanksgiving
Food, Coat, & Blanket Drive.
This
year, we have prayerfully set our goal at filling and distributing
at least 75 food boxes to people that are in need. Our purpose?
To spread Christ's love through our actions and to represent our
gracious God to people that are hurting.
Can
you help? Below is a list of just a few ways that you can be used
