A Busy, Wonderful Week of Ministry

The first full week of school was also the week of the Henry County Fair this year. Our church has two community ministries we have planned the past several years. One of those is the Back to School Prayer Breakfast. We host this at the Western District Association office and invite those from churches around our community. We pray for each teacher, administrator and board member in our city and county schools by name on the first Monday of school. It is such a neat way to start the school year! The ladies in our church bring all types of breakfast foods, and then after the breakfast, we take food to all the school and school boards to let them know we're praying for them...Loving God, Loving Others, For His Glory!The next day we set up for our Henry County Fair booth where our church members hand out bottles of water on Wednesday through Saturday night. It is just a way of showing the love of God to those in our community. This year, it was such a hot week, and I think people were especially appreciative. The boys helped us purchase the 1,000+ bottles of water and even worked together to push a full cart themselves...loved the picture! It was such a busy start to the school year, but what better way to begin than by serving others!
