Serving our Community

this past saturday morning sandi and i gathered together with a good-sized group from our church to rake leaves in people's front yards.

Sandi with our pastor, C.B. Eder...




gathering together for prayer and instructions...

walking to a near-by neighborhood that ben had staked out for us that morining...

sandi and i found out that we didn't have to bag and dispose of the leaves (which was WONDERFUL NEWS!) there is a machine that comes by and sucks up all the leaves. all we had to do was rake them off of the curbs and into piles.

some of the children playing in the leaves...

(...hey, that's a BIG kid!=)

it was a wonderful morning, with precious people, serving the practical needs of real individuals. many people were very grateful and ecxited to have an army of folks show up to tidy up their front lawns. this is just one of the many ways that Christ Community Church extends the kindness and grace of God to the people in our community. we are humbled and very grateful to be a part of this God-centered church. mahalo to ben for doing such an excellent job organizing the whole event! ...so when's the snow shoveling outreach??=)
