Sharing Sabbaths

Celebrate The Pastor's birthday By Doing Random Acts of Kindness

 

I would like for you to celebrate my 61st birthday with me by doing something special; that is by doing random acts of kindness to anybody (friend or stranger) during the week of November 22-29.   It could be helping someone across the street, feeding the poor, cleaning a neighbor's window, paying for the groceries for someone in front on you at the food store--anything.  Record it or take a video of what you are doing to did and email it to me.   


Then on Sabbath, November 28, will be Sharing Sabbath, when every member is encouraged to bring a small token or gift to church to give to someone in church that Sabbath (when the pastor gives the instruction to do so).   It can be a sandwich, cookie, vege pattie, candle, candy, necktie, socks, anything small and not costly.   So celebrate my birthday by doing these kind acts of kindness.  My birthday is on November 29th. 


Then on Sabbath, December 26, it is also Sharing Sabbath.  This is the Sabbath when everybody will bring a small gift or anything to give to those in need.  It will be the season of giving so let us all participate.  That gifts will be placed up front by the pulpit on the Sabbath day.


This is love in action.   Making the gospel attractive through loving actions.  "It is this way everyone will know that you are my disciples if we love one another."  John 13:35
