I John 3:18 “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and with truth.”

During World War II our nation came together to defeat our enemies on both sides of the world. While young men volunteered to serve on the front lines, their family members conserved and collected materials necessary to supply our military on both fronts. Scraps of aluminum, plastics, glass and used rubber tires were collected and recycled into equipment needed to supply our military with equipment necessary to support the war effort as democracy was challenged worldwide. 

What We Should Know

Our Cuba Team recently went to Cuba and with them went fifteen large duffel bags full of everything from socks to medicines to help meet the needs of our brothers and sisters there. Our church didn’t just throw money at the problem or talk about it or pray about it. Our people shopped and collected and put together a menagerie of items which we typically take for granted but are essential needs for those dear people and then we delivered them.  There is a grand old hymn entitled “Onward Christian Soldier” which challenges us to go forth with the cross of Jesus going on before. That describes well those who collected those fifteen bags of items and those who delivered them. God bless our church family! My father had a saying that stuck with me. “What you do speaks so loud, I can’t hear what you say.”
