23 Feb Truly Loving Our Neighbors

Recently, we hosted our monthly senior citizen luncheon and fun day. This growing ministry is more than a lunch, games, crafts, and a short devotional. It really is a time to breath life into those who feel forgotten and cast away.

Senior adults are an often forgotten population, and in our neighborhood they comprise the second largest population. These senior neighbors face the battle of hunger on a daily basis atop of a multitude of other challenges – lack of education, lack of resources, and a lack of people who love them. Their love of a fresh-cooked meal reminds me of just one of the many things I have to be thankful for.

As Shepherd continues to embrace our neighborhood, we make new friends, like our senior friends. We will love and care for everyone, no matter their age or circumstance. We truly love our neighbors.

Won’t you join us?
