Serving and Generosity

Yesterday we announced at Life Church Franklin some different ways that you can give back, serve, be generous.

Our local food bank, Carnet, is in desperate need of food. Their shelves are barren and empty. With the current state of the economy more people than ever need help. As Christ followers this is a chance for the God's church to shine. We should be on the forefront of reaching out and giving...be generous...serving.

We will be collecting items at the church building (can food and non-perishables) in addition to items for Samaritans Purses Operation Christmas Child.

There are some other ways to be generous as well. I will list them below and tell you how to help.

This is it. This is just one of many opportunities for God's people to rise up and say we will be generous with what God has given me and my family. Please pray about this but also take action. It's time to get out of our chairs and be moved/called into action.

Here's how you can help:

• Carenet - Bring canned foods and non-perishables the next few Sundays. We want tons of stuff!
• Operation Christmas Child - Bring items to the church to be packed into shoeboxes. We will have a night at the church where you can come and pack the boxes and wrap them. Right now just bring the items to be placed inside. Here is a list of items you can bring. Click here and scroll down to Gift Ideas.
• MPP - Tree of Warm. Bring new hats and mittens for children who need these items right here in Franklin. These will be distributed through Macon Program for Progress.

Please something this Sunday. We want to show others we care. We need to be God's church and that means serving and being generous. It is so much fun and honoring to be able to bless others. I hope you will join in!
