If anyone has not heard, we have semi adopted the slogan "Seeking and Serving, God and Others" for the CIA. That slogan was put into action this past Saturday when a small group of CIA members went over to a home off Luella and X to remove a deck from a backyard. I had not done any type of investigation on this job prior to heading over, so we did not know what to expect. I thought it could be anything from a 10x10 wooden platform to a very large multi-level structure with planter boxes and posts cemented in. Well, it was the second option for us as we did not waste any time once we got on site. It took us a little over 2 hours to complete the removal of the structure and everyone was plenty tired when we were done. However, it was a great opportunity for us as God’s church to fulfill His commission to us found in the New Testament. Just after Jesus had washed the disciples’ feet, he told them, you call me Lord and Master, which I am, yet I have washed your feet, you should now go and wash one another’s feet…very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me. John 13:14ff…20.
I would like to send out a very special thank you to everyone that was able to make it Saturday, we even had some water sent over early from a couple that could not make it and that was very much appreciated. I know everyone that was there had a great time and I for one could see Jesus in everyone there. It was a blessing for me and I am looking forward to our next opportunity.
God Bless!
