As a church that believes in wide-eyed participation, we want to give you as many opportunities as possible to come alongside Jesus in the journey of reconciliation. That's why we offer weekly Do Some Good opportunities.
Please don't feel pressure to participate in everything, but we do hope that these posts give you an opportunity to plug in and serve the community at your capacity.
THIS WEEK’S DO SOME GOOD
Through a partnership with We Care, Emmaus comes alongside families to sponsor gifts and offer holiday cheer across the Midlands. Most of our small groups participate in this effort together, but this opportunity is open to the entire church. Consider sponsoring a family and adding a few more things to the cart when you go out and do your own shopping this year. We have received our shopping lists from We Care and would love to have you join the effort! If you are interested, or just have questions, please email Dylan (dylan@emmauschurchsc.com). There will also be lists available at the Connect Table on your way out of church the next couple of Sundays.
-Have you ever wanted to be one of those people wearing a cool Santa hat and ringing the bell outside of stores during the holiday? Well, your dreams are coming true today! Did you know those are volunteers collecting donations for @salarmymidlandssc and you can do that too? If you are interested, email Dylan.
-There are only a few tickets left for Oyster Roast for a Reason! Join @missionlexsc for a shuckin’ good time at the Icehouse Amphitheater this Friday! Your support helps Mission Lexington continue their vital community work. You can learn more and grab tickets here: bit.ly/3Nq5hip.
-Today is Veteran's Day, a day set aside to honor those who have died and those who have served. Consider the human who wears the title "veteran" and offer something to them this week. A card, a phone call, or time spent together over lunch. Thank them for the sacrifice they made and ask for their story if they are willing. You can also make a care package, write some encouraging cards, or donate to organizations that support veteran efforts.
