Blitz Day

Our church did a Faith in Action Campaign culminating in Blitz Day. Blitz Day, which happened today, had the slogan "Don't go to Church, Be the Church". So we had a short 15 minute church service this morning, and then we all went out to do service projects in the community (some also happened at the church building). Phillip went with his small group to do landscaping for a safe house in town for abused women. I worked on putting together advertisement pieces for another abused women's and children's shelter (or hotline or something). Then the kids and I helped carve pumpkins with handicapped children. Some of the other projects were sorting clothing for people in Honduras, sorting furniture and household items for the women's shelters, collecting and delivering food for a local food pantry, working on a Christmas for Kids project, working in elderly people's homes and yards, and laying sod at a new children's home. We hoped to have 3,000 people involved with Blitz Day with the three campuses working together. I was glad to be involved with serving others and teaching our kids to love others more than they love themselves.
