It is the desire of our Small Group to find practical ways to reach out into our community, thereby applying one of Eastmont’s purpose statements “Go for Christ.” In the past we have, as a group, helped needy families locally as well as missionary families overseas.
In March we did something different. It began with grocery shopping by women in our Small Group, followed by an afternoon with both men and women preparing dinner for 60. The menu was beef stroganoff, tossed green salad, bread and brownies. The afternoon passed quickly as we chopped, browned, shredded and boiled, all the time talking and laughing together. At 5:45 p.m. we loaded the food in a van, and appeared at the Shepherd’s House, a Christian homeless shelter located on Division Street. As our Small Group provided the dinner at the shelter that night, we were reminded again that “it is more blessed to give than receive.”
This venue for serving is always open to any who desire to participate. Call or drop by the Shepherd’s House to sign up for a date. You’ll be glad you did.
