MINISTRIES OF THE HEART

           …An Opportunity to Live Our Faith

         God’s gift of unconditional love and grace comes to us freely.  All we have to do is accept.  We, in turn, express our faith by how we choose to live our lives… and how we share God’s grace with others.  Those we help receive a glimpse of the power of God’s love.   Our faith journey is enriched and becomes a deeper encounter with God through our shared grace.

       On May 22nd, our Lynnewood congregation will be extended the opportunity to share God’s love

 for all people.  The invitation will be to participate in Ministries of the Heart, a time of personal outreach.

  Young and old.  Individuals, friends and families.  All may join in engaging with the world around us.

       Consider the possibilities.  What needs of other people weigh on your heart?  What longings to help

 do you have?  What bothers you the most…hunger, homelessness, the challenges of the disabled, 

children in poverty, disadvantaged youth, the needs of seniors?   

        The invitation will be simply, that you do a personal outreach of your choosing, anytime over

 the summer of 2005.  Easy enough, but an act of kindness that will help change our world.  Come 

and hear more on Sunday,  May 22^nd.   As Jesus well demonstrated, the opportunity is to live a life 

of passion, of compassion, of kindness, of love…of grace.                                          

Your Friend In Faith,
