Today is our District Day of Service. Folks around the Chattanooga area will be going to Camp Lookout, the Bethlehem Center, the Tri-State Food Pantry at Sand Mountain, the Free Store, Hosanna House, Cloudland Canyon State Park and campgrounds, among many others to make blankets, clean, play bingo with residents, make cleaning kits, etc. It is also the UMW (United Methodist Women) retreat day. They will meet in the morning and do service projects in the afternoon.
It is a beautiful day to get out and work together in community for the good of others.
It is always a blessing to serve with others. Working with community in community allows us to get to know one another, to work together, to build fellowship.
In these days we need to seek out opportunities to work with others, to get to know them, to fellowship, to serve together. In doing these things, we will find that we have much more in common than we may have thought and by working side by side we can bring wholeness and healing into the brokenness.
It is a step by step movement. Day by day.
What can we do for those in our midst?
Today, I am going to the Bethlehem Center.
I'm looking forward to it.
Peace and blessings,
Debra
