A Lot Like Paul

This past Sunday, our focus was on the Apostle Paul and his conversion from his previous life as Saul.  Saul was a Pharisee of Pharisees.  Paul became a disciple making disciple.  The transformation must have been a sight to see.  Once Saul became Paul, he was unstoppable.  He travelled from place to place introducing people to and encouraging people with Jesus.

I was just looking at my calendar from the past month and a part of me feels a lot like Paul.

Save the date: June 4th 8am-8pm

Town & Country (Valparaiso & Portage)

Feed the Need is an annual event where we partner with Town & Country and other area churches to invite our community to join us in feeding those in need. We stand at the doors and hand out flyers that list items that are being collected. The flyers also invite them to purchase items on the list and drop them in receptacles on their way out. We organize them in the truck.  This year cash donations will support the NWI Food Bank whose resources allow them to do much more with the money than we can, while the actual food donations will support smaller local food distribution centers.

To sign up to participate at the doors or on the truck, simply click here. This is a great way to spend time with your friends or meet some new ones!

For now, if you are interested in helping to coordinate this one day event, contact Jeni Bolton at Jeni@ImagineLifeDifferently.com.
