Service Project
Hey church, Phil Southan here,
I heard about this summer of service promotion, but a lot of us are very busy and it is hard to get out and do the big projects that some are doing. Well, there are young men and women from Arkansas of the 188th fighter squadron that were deployed to the hot, dry, dangerous region of the war in Afghanistan last Wednesday. My next-door neighbor, Brad Allen, has been deployed there twice and he and his friends have been on my heart this past week.
I thought it would be nice if these men and women received letters of thanks and encouragement from us. This is something we could do at home in the evening before we all settle in for the night (might be a good idea to skip America’s Got Talent for the night).
I have provided envelopes and address labels in case some of you have a care package you might want to send. The envelopes and labels will be available on a table in the welcome area at church or you can come see me. All you have to do is address it to a Servicemen and add a label sticker. Remember that these men and women are your neighbors, schoolmates and members of your community. We can show them we care and that they are the precious children of God deserving of our love.
