D
ear Fellow Servant,

Life is an amazing series of events that are connected together by the relationships we build.  9 times out of 10, if you run into someone who has little regard for life or living it well, you can trace the emotion (or lack thereof)  back to the strength or fragility of the relationships created in that person’s life.  In other words, it’s not bound by the material things given, the wish lists completed, or the debt accumulated along the way.  The power of life is in the relationships established.  The good thing is, true relationships are absolutely free! 

 

We have entered the story of hope this season.  When Joyce and I went to Hope House, we went with nothing more than ourselves. We read to the children and developed relationships.  We left with a longing to do more volunteering and give more of ourselves to others.  My question to you is where is your Hope House?  What will you bring to the story when you enter?

 

Last Sunday, we distributed an “Enter the Story” brochure with information on how you and your family can get involved in the Advent Conspiracy.  I am providing a printable copy here for you to use. 

 

Let’s keep moving forward in making this season one filled with meaningful relationships with God, with each other and with others in need.

 

See you Sunday!

 
DR. FRANK A. THOMAS Senior Servant
