Today, we will gather for worship as a body at Community of Joy after two weeks of not being able to do so due to the snow. I am excited to see everyone and to meet some new friends! And it is neat to hear that others are also excited about gathering together today!
Missing two weeks in a row is unprecedented in the history of Community of Joy! So, our Leadership Team felt the need to send out an email to encourage folks to send their missed contributions to our Financial Secretary. Normally, we don't like to make a big deal about money... we teach tithing and trust that God will work through us to provide what is needed for the ministry he has called us to (and he does!). But missing two weeks in a row creates a cash flow problem, especially when you have a mortgage to pay. So the reminder went out and the contributions flowed in! Not sure where we stand at this writing, but in the initial days we received more than one week's normal offering! Totally AWESOME! And even more awesome when folks like my family will give today our offering for the last two weeks and this weeks as well! (I had good intentions of mailing it, but forgot!)
This will also be a big week for us, as we have opened our doors as a homeless men's shelter for the week. The reports are that things are going well so far.
It is good to get back on track after the snow!
