Today was our 5th Annual Back 2 School BBQ at Newark Community Park. Over these years, we have slowly built relationships with people that would not normally come to our church. It's nice to hear people call me Pastor Josh even though I only get to see them once a year at this BBQ. I believe the Spirit of God uses events like this to whisper, "You are loved...You are important to me" to those that attend.
To everyone who volunteered…
I just wanted to express my thanks. Today was a perfect example of what we can accomplish when we work as a team. It takes a lot of volunteers to put together such a large event and you made that possible. I know that you had other things that you could have done today (some of them were probably important), but you took the time to volunteer. Because of your involvement we touched over 300 people with God's love, handed out over 100+ backpacks, and signed up 28 kids for Mega Sports Camp! We couldn't have done it without you.Thanks for being on the team!
Everyone loves the idea of being part of a church that really serves the community, but so often we fail to prioritize our own time to make that a priority. I'm really glad for the people of MSC that not only talk about Jesus but put action behind their beliefs.
See you tomorrow at church!
