A testimony from A Day to Serve
This email came into the church this week and we thought we'd share it:
I had a chance to look at the photos from A Day to Serve and got tears in my eyes seeing people from Christ's Place I am blessed to know having fun by blessing others. How many people did our church plant sees for? Thousands I pray!
I helped Sunday with the People City Missions mailer, we were done very quickly in the scope of the day. I looked at the photos and thought, "Wow! Why did I quit...I should have showed up somewhere else because the look on the faces of the people being blessed (and I mean those giving and receiving) touches my heart and brings me to tears...of happiness.
Thank you to everyone who helped in every capacity...because you show my children by example what a wonderful group of people who love Christ can do in just a single day. You show them rather than just telling the, what it is to be truly Christ-like. That visual example is worth more than any sermon or lecture or talk that I can give them. To hear my daughter talk of spending the day with one of her best friends and her family handing our dog treats and water and what she took away from that was fantastic!
Our church gave a day, and we walked away with more than I can put into words. I can only jope that we do this again and again, possibly more than once a year. Thank you Christ's Place for "teaching" me even outside of the sanctuary.
