Yesterday evening was Grace Fellowship's Food Ministry time. There was a line around one side of our building. My pastor and I decided that we would go out and serve coffee & hot chocolate to those standing in line. What has remained with me, is the stories of lay-offs, downsizing and company closings. These are hard times, but as a minister friend shared with us yesterday morning, "There is no better time for the righteous to shine, than in hard times."
In that line, after serving the people, we fielded questions about God, the church and even about upcoming services. Serving a simple cup of coffee can help build God's church. Maybe the church you attend cannot have a food ministry, but, may I ask you, what can you do?
Whatever it is, God can and will use it.

That is awesome! Our church does many outreach's throughout the year. We also go out to the community and give out food. This is the perfect time to shine our light to this world. Great post!
