A Mission Minute
Brrr! This is the season of hot chocolate, warm tea, and always coffee! So grab a mug and your favorite fall beverage and let’s talk about Jesus. The crazy season is about to begin and soon we will be lost in talking turkey, buying and wrapping gifts, Christmas pageants, Christmas trees, and let’s not forget Christmas lights. It’s so easy to lose sight of Jesus in the midst of our to do list. But sisters, let’s take time to encourage one another to continue to sit at Jesus' feet, pray with one another and for one another. Let’s get excited about attending Bible study as well as worship. Each day offers us opportunities to share the Gospel, so our souls need to be nourished by His precious Word so that we are ready to tell everyone that Jesus came into this World in order to rescue us from sin by His death and resurrection. What a blessed message we have to share!
And speaking of sharing, thanks be to God that His message is being proclaimed beyond our neighborhoods as well through our mites. In fact, let’s talk about Mission Grant #6 for Binns Counts Community Center. The Binns Counts Community Center is located in the rural city of McClure, VA. With rough terrain and a lack of jobs, this area is one of the poorest in Virginia. The goal of this grant is to support the activities of the Center which include distribution of bibles, clothing, furniture, and other household items as well as other activities. May God bless the efforts of the Binns Counts Community Center as they serve those in dire need.
Lastly, may we continue to find those nickels and dimes and place them in our Mite boxes. For our work is not done. There are still people who need to hear about Jesus. They need to know his love and the redemptive work that He has accomplished. We have four grants left that need to be fulfilled. As you are encouraged through your Bible studies and Christian fellowship seek new ways to encourage mite donations. All that we do is for the sake of Jesus and His saving message of grace and mercy. And as a reminder, there a several ways that donations can be made:
· Through your local groups
· Send your check payable to LWML Chesapeake District to Financial Secretary Edi Collis, 3601 Stoney Castle St., Olney, MD 20832.
· Set up a single donation or recurring donation to the district online by following this link: How to Give - LWML CHESAPEAKE DISTRICT
Maybe this coming Christmas season, as we drive past those beautiful Christmas lights, may we be reminded to add a few coins to our Mite boxes so that Jesus, the light of the world, might be made known to all through our Mission Grants. “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’” John 8:12
