Even the smallest hands can make a huge difference!! Thank you to our lovely Girlscout Evelyn for donating cookies to our motel ministry, and making such a lovely sign. This brightened up everyone’s evening while preparing the meals this past Friday.

"Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility — a time dedicated to celebrating the lives, gifts and contributions of transgender people, while also recognizing their ongoing struggle for safety, dignity and justice.

In the ELCA social statement Faith, Sexism and Justice: A Call to Action, we affirm our belief that “God’s intention revealed through the Scriptures is that all people have life abundantly and flourish” (page 2). Today reminds us of our call to love, affirm and support one another — not just today, but every day as an expression of our faith."

Gifts of the Spirit – A Daily Lenten Series on Spiritual Gifts ✝️

Today’s Spirit at Work story is from Randy Punchard, coordinator of The Motel Ministry! This ministry shows hospitality as holy work meeting needs, opening doors, and offering dignity.

“As a member of St. Stephen in Williamsburg, I was given an opportunity a number of years ago to serve our homeless community. This service (called From His Hands) was to find ways of raising the spirit of folks who do not have permanent housing and are residing in local motels due to limited income resources. As the leader of our program, we call it “Motel Ministry”, I see a spiritual gift of hospitality come to life one to two times a month. Through a means of our team (about 20 folks) serves hot meals to about 50 persons each time, we generously see the Holy Spirit at work. The expression of appreciation and thanks are priceless. It is also providing a sense of hope that these folks know someone cares about them. A true reflection of the “spirit at work.””
