Here am I. Send Me: Serving the Homeless of Atlanta This Thanksgiving…Taking Christianity Into the World
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Each year my Lord and Savior calls me deeper into His embrace and it is at this point I find myself asking you, “what will you do this Holiday Season to serve God?” Though family events, buying gifts for loved ones and spending time with those to whom I hold most dear, there can be no bigger gift to my wife, my children and to my God than serving Him this Thanksgiving and Christmas. On Tuesday, November 17th we are going to gather at Sugarloaf United Methodist Church (1795 Old Peachtree Road, Duluth 30097) in the Town Hall at 6:30PM. You do not have to be present to serve God with us. We will need many behind the scenes preparing lunches and preparing yummy casseroles to take with us.
At that time, we will have a signup sheet for everyone and are asking everyone to provide at least one dish to take with us down to The Gardens. If you have friends who might be willing to cook an extra dish of whatever they are serving their families for Thanksgiving, please ask them to contribute – it would be such a huge help.
Taking Care of the Homeless takes much more than a good meal on Thanksgiving. We are looking for church groups and individuals to partner with us throughout the year to Get God to The Lost and The Last and The Least. Below please find a few of their ongoing physical needs.
