It’s Here: Ready or Not?
Bob Monts
I’m sure you have noticed and may have even groused about it. The outdoor Christmas decorations are popping up around town. Reformation Day is here today (Nov. 1). That means that the breaks are off, and everyone is now running headlong into the Holiday season. Thanksgiving is knocking at the door and Christmas is about 50 days away.
Here at Northpark it means we are ramping up to serve people in the Montgomery County area, the community of Kingwood, and children around the world. The months of November and December give us as a church an opportunity to allow God to love others through us.
It all starts this coming Saturday (Nov. 5th) as we gather to fill shoe boxes with gifts and various hygiene supplies for kids around the world. We partner every year with Samaritan’s Purse in a project called Operation Christmas Child. Through this project we are packing up 200 shoe boxes to be sent to kids who otherwise might not have a merry Christmas.
Then on Nov 15th we head to Mission Northeast, one of our mission partners, to participate in making the supplies for Thanksgiving meals possible. We gather supplies every month that the Mission gives to those who are struggling.
Yes, we are a small church, though we want to grow. We don’t let our size limit us in our mission. We are jumping into service this Holiday season with gusto and abandon. Are you looking for a church that recognizes it is not all about itself? Do you want to be part of a church that shows this through service and making a difference in the community? Then join us for a service. Meet us and Pastor Lonnie and see how easy it is to get connected here.
