More than a Day!
Print View
This year’s Great Day of Service is really starting to come together. We have added some new agencies and activities this year that are really exciting. Safehouse Outreach is an urban ministry reaching out to the homeless and providing real help. Wish4Me assists disabled individuals find the resources they need. Click here to check out the list of agencies and the web links to learn more about them.
One of my favorite images of GDOS is of Saturday morning when we all meet at the church as we prepare to go out and serve for the day. The worship center is filled with over 500-strong volunteers – all wearing their GDOS t-shirt , of course! There is an excitement and electricity that you can just feel. People are buzzing around making their final preparations for the day and the noise level starts to rise. Tommy stands up and focuses the group as we prepare to share communion together. How appropriate and perfect this act is. Communion is the ultimate celebration of total serving and sacrifice that our Lord gave to us. As we receive the bread and wine – the gift of Christ – we are filled and whole. Because He loved us, we love others. Because he served us, we serve others. Everyone is now ready to start their day. We are united as the true body of Christ. Look out world….here comes Sugarloaf UMC!!!!
