Time for our annual Free Yard Sale!!

This Saturday our church Phillips Chapel UMC will hold it's annual FREE
Yard sale.

This is just one of our outreach ministries that we do in hopes to make a difference in the community.

When we started this ministry a few years ago, some people had their doubts about how it would go, but as you probably know, we don't always see how are actions bless others, we just have to do the right thing and trust the Lord.

So that's exactly what we did, and just when you think you are just giving away free stuff you hear a story of how a simple free yard sale blesses people just when they need it.

So if you are around, please feel free

to stop in and shop.

We must not become tired of doing good.  We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.

Free Yard Sale!

 

This weekend May 15th, at Phillips Chapel UMC in Graham, NC.  They will be haveing a Free Yard Sale.

Yep, I said FREE!

It is an annual community outreach program they do for anyone who would like to come.

One in Four

This morning started out just like every other morning, in that after I pour my coffee, I sit down to watch the weather on the local station.

This morning they were doing a story about The Second Harvest Food Bank.  They do a yearly event where you buy a ticket, get a hand crafted bowl, and a bowl of soup.  It's to raise awareness that 1 in 4 children in NC go to bed hungry.

To think that my kids complain when there are no chips in the cupboard is a little embarrassing.  My kids have never had to go to bed hungry.  The thought of any child being hungry is so sad to me.

What are we gonna do about it?  

Our church gives regularly to Loaves and Fishes, which is a local food bank.  But with so many people out of work, I can't help but feel like we should be doing more.  And by we I mean me.   I am  sure there are people in my community that may need help, but probably would not ask.  And frankly they shouldn't have to,   Should they?  I mean as Christians, and just as human beings we should be helping our neighbors?

So, I will do something, not sure what it will be right now, maybe just a donation, or maybe something else.  

What will you do?
