All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it.
It's mission week, and what an incredible week it's been already. On Tuesday night, volunteers from our youngest kids to the greatest generation came to pack well over 400 sandwiches for kids who receive Smart Lunches over the summer. The very next morning, a half dozen youth showed up to help me load the bus and make the delivery to Mountain Park UMC in Stone Mountain. And after this, several more joined us for Bible Study, as we discussed the ways we can be believers and serve our city in a modern Corinth.
In addition to our mission workers, many came and walked the Labyrinth and prayed for our mission teams this week and those traveling soon on the youth mission trip to Mexico. There are so many ways to pray and go and serve. Those prayers mean the world to our mission teams and they connect us as one body.
Today, our team visited Hands of Christ. They unloaded landscaping supplies, did outdoor beautification projects and indoor cleaning. Our volunteers worked hard to make Hands of Christ feel like home for all who visit. And tomorrow, our teams will head to Dreamweavers to do more beautification and sorting of clothes. I hope you'll join us. And then more will head to the Atlanta Food Pantry on Saturday. You can still sign up to help. And if your family volunteers ANY where this summer or in the months to come, post your pictures on social media with #JCPCgiveGoLive so we can follow your adventures in serving too and share them.
