Connecting

Over the last three days I have focused my attention on making connections with people. I want them to know about our church. I want them to know that they are invited to attend a Bible study. But, I also want to make some connections with people simply to build relationships.
Through a local website, I was able to read about people who are looking to connect with others. I learned about a teenage girl who is looking for a Christian church. I learned that the area Hospice Center needs someone to volunteer some time each week to meet with patients and their families. We are simply attempting to make connections with people.
I have already heard back from the Hospice Center. I will be going through about 15 hours of training in the next couple of months.
Finally, I distributed more water bottles today. I am completely out of koozies. We ordered more koozies that should be in by the weekend. Nonetheless, I passed out water bottles. I was able to visit with one guy in particular who said that he believes in Jesus, but "can't love his neighbor right now." He said he would be in touch. I also met some homeless guys. They appreciated the water and we talked for several minutes. They are hurting, angry with society, but needing the grace of God.
Today was productive. Looking forward to tomorrow.

In His Grace,
