We often talk about looking for opportunities to share Good News.
During voting yesterday, one of the poll workers (who I've met before) is from Puerto Rico and had mentioned that she doesn't know people in Akron from there. I sent a message to Pastor Eduardo Bauza Garcia of the Spanish language congregation that meets in the 915 North Main building, who came and met her and invited her to church.
Then another poll worker talked about feeling called to ministry and asked about seminary education and opportunities to connect with teens in the community. I was able to give her information about Gary & Patricia Wyatt's North Akron Community House and suggested that as a way to start.
About 300 community residents voted here yesterday!
