Out of the Box Ministries – April Update
On Sunday April 20, 2008 we threw a big party in the Café! Twenty to thirty people: Newcomers, first-time visitors, and members alike all found out just how easy it is to help local families. (Check out some pictures.)
Here’s what we did…some of us brought a few bucks and others brought ourselves, and we said “Yes, we will, yes we can” inside our hearts. After making these 2 commitments – we came to the Café – and found to our surprise that we had not arrived so much at a volunteer event as a really fun party with all of our cool friends!
The 3/4 ton of food dispersed to 34 local families “almost” took a back seat to the jokes, talk, smiles and electric atmosphere in the Trinity Café!
Did you miss it? Not to worry – we will be holding the best party in town once per month on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Bring a few bucks if you have them, bring a heart that says “Yes”, but most importantly – bring yourself and spend an afternoon hanging around with your friends and making a big impact on several lives.
And if for no other reason than pure curiosity, aren’t you wondering where God will take our Out of the Box Ministries?

“Mr. Steve’s church is really going to give us another box this month?” – this comment from an Alyce Norman Elementary School recipient of April’s delivery – when she learned there would be a May delivery also.
from The Pretenders’ “Message of Love”:
‘Now the reason we’re here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
When love walks in the room,
Everybody stand up.’
from 1 John 4: 11-12:
‘Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.’
