“And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones” Matthew 10:42

 Can a cup of cold water make a difference? Jesus thought it did! What about you? You might think that your small act of service for our CHANGE THE WORLD weekend might seem so insignificant, but we are looking at it from the human view, not the God view!

 Think about it for a moment..

Really it’s only...

..a letter, but to someone serving away from home, we don’t know how God will use it in a time of need

..removing the sod in the backyard of an ARC Group Home, but to the resident it is fulfilling a desire to plant a garden

.. mulching and trimming, but what joy it will bring to an elderly person who can't do it anymore

..a casserole, but to the volunteer firefighter or Rehab center aide, it can be a special blessing    

..a bag of food shared with a smile, but to that working family it will mean full stomachs and a sigh of relief

.. a set of baby pajamas, but to the struggling mother it is something new and clean and helps her to know she is not alone

.. building a picnic table, but the woman and children at SARC can sit safely together and enjoy a meal on it

You might not think that a cup of cold water can change the world, but just the fact that you decided to serve this weekend is changing you and when we are changed, we begin to find some small ways to the CHANGE THE WORLD in which we live!!

We are closing in on over 400 people serving in 24 projects. It is not too late to decide to serve! 

You can go online and see what projects still need help!

In Jesus,
