A Word About: Opportunity (Part 2)

Last week I mentioned that there are other opportunities that come around more often. Of course, I am speaking of opportunities that we have to serve others. This fall we are learning about the plight of many people in our world. The challenge is then to figure out what we can do about it. So far we have talked about those in our world who are oppressed. I am not going to give you the answers! I hope that as a group we can figure out something that we can do. We have also talked about worldwide poverty. One organization that is working to eliminate poverty is Bread For The World. You can find out more about them at www.bread.org. Thank you, Peyton Bell, for coming to share with us about your work with the homeless in Memphis. I hope you will keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to serve here at home. One such opportunity will be First Saturday Missions. This will begin on Sept. 6 with the continuation of a project at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center. The world needs you! Let’s start a Flood.

Parents, don't forget the parent's meeting this Sunday during the Bible Study hour!
