On Christmas Eve, I got to do the coolest thing...
My parents' church, Second Baptist Church of Washington, NC, does a monthly feeding outside the Zion Shelter (a homeless shelter in town). They prepare meals and people come in droves to get them.
On Christmas Eve, at 10am, my family - mom, dad, sister, wife, and I - loaded up and drove into town. About 25 people from the church were there. Preparing meals to serve in Christ's name.
This was a fantastic example of the gift Christ gave of himself. Mission and helping those less fortunate than ourselves should be a touchstone for the Christian life.
I pray that more churches will be mission minded especially around the Christmas season.
