Making life better for our neighbors
November 2013
A few weeks ago, I preached on generosity. I didn’t preach on giving, I preached on generosity. God is more concerned with us being generous than He is with how much we give. Being generous is connected to our loving relationship with God and with others. I want to be a more generous person - being kind, loving, and giving with my life.
As I was pondering this, our supporters came to mind. Your prayers and financial support are given out of your generosity. We know they are from your love for God, your love for us, and from your love from our neighbors and community. Since this is November and we are more mindful of Thanksgiving, we want to express how thankful for you and our friendship and ministry together.
We love you all and are very thankful for you!
On Halloween, we partnered with the church
youth group and had a Harvest Party with
games, crafts, food, and a “haunted” La Paz
House. We had over 100 neighbors attend! I
am glad that the kids have finished off all of their
candy. I’m sick of picking up candy wrappers.
This past weekend, I had 30 high school students from Basehor, Bonner Springs, and Tonganoxie fix our playground fence and mulch the swing set area. It is great to come up with projects to get teens to serve and help our ministry at the same time. Another group coming next week….
Thanksgiving
I am always looking for new ways to reach out to our neighborhood. We are always looking for opportunities to meet physical and spiritual needs, and build a bridge between them and the local church. This year, I am organizing a Community Thanksgiving Feast on Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving Day was never
meant to be a day where we
hide in our own homes,
overindulge, and watch
football. It is a day to come
together and celebrate and
give thanks to God for his
blessings this past year. I plan
on cooking a bunch of turkey
and hand delivering invites to
all of our neighbors. A few
years ago, we hosted a family
in our community and they told
us that they had never had a
traditional American
Thanksgiving meal before.
Help me bless our neighbors.
Here is a flyer for our event.
Dana and I would love to have
you join us! Just let me know.
With thanksgiving,
Lee & Dana
