First we thank and give praise to God for what He has done! He gave us one directive this weekend, cancel the church service and feed the people. We took what we had at the time figured out we could turn that into 150 meals and we started and God kept opening doors and providing because He is so good!
We’re so grateful to our local news for taking the time to share a little of what happened in our community this weekend.
When the storm left so many of our neighbors without power, we simply wanted to do what we believe the Church is called to do and that’s to show up, love people, and meet the need in front of us.
None of this happened because of one person.
It happened beyond what we planned for because someone shared a text in a prayer group chat asking for prayer for us and people started donating. People cooked. People packed meals, delivered, shared posts and told us where the needs were. And together, we were able to serve 400 meals throughout the weekend.
We’re incredibly thankful for every single person who helped make that possible.
This is the heart of Hope City.
Not just a gathering inside a building, but being willing to step outside of it when our community needs us.
We love this city. And when our neighbors hurt, we want to be the kind of people who show up.
Thank you to everyone who served alongside us and thank you WJAC-TV News for helping tell the story. ❤️
