Titus 3:14 "Let
our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they
may not be unfruitful."
Seems to me that
maintaining good works infers that we should keep serving one another. Doing
kind and helpful things for as many as we can. Additionally, we should rally
around urgent needs too. Above and beyond situations that if we all respond it
really solves a problem.
I have one for you. I
have recently visited the Courtyard Homeless Center in Santa Ana several times,
learning ways to partner with them. The Director, Doris shared two needs, one
ongoing, and one urgent. They would love for some folks to come during
mealtimes and be available to listen to people who just want someone to talk
to, maybe pray for them. Could that be you once a month? Urgently they need
bath towels. Who doesn't have an extra towel or three in the cabinet?
We are gonna collect
towels for a couple of weeks and if you could give an hour a month to be
available to listen I would love to talk to you about how to plug in to the
Courtyard ministry. 460 people in the redesigned bus terminal in the Civil
Center in Santa Ana. About 4 miles from Grace Harbor.
Let's learn to
maintain good works together. Let's be fruitful. Got an extra towel? How about
a little time to listen to someone who is trying to move forward as best they
can? Hope to see you soon.
In His Service with
you,
Pastor Fred
