Touched By Service: October 2009
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. A Day of Service (CIA). 7:30 Rolled out of bed, wished I were sleeping late. Slipped on yesterday’s jeans and new Compassion in Action tee shirt. Grabbed a cup of coffee on the way to pick up Cameron. 8:05 Picked up Cameron and tossed him a CIA tee shirt. He was still sleepy too. Made sure he hugged his mom before we left. Explained what CIA is all about. 9:50 Headed to Perimeter. Explained Wellspring Living’s ministry to Cameron. 11:15 Unloaded the groceries at the Norcross Co-...

Touched By Service: February 2010
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. An Encounter with God. On December 30th, 2009 John woke up with a plan to spend a portion of his day serving God. He was to visit several extended stay hotels to help distribute one hundred sack lunches to the children who live there, children who call the hotel rooms “home.”. The family of five piled into the car and headed for their first stop not knowing what God had in store for them. At that moment Shalihia’s telephone rang. John and Kathy watched as a few timid parents wa...

Touched By Service: WOW
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2009/11/wow.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. I walked into the Fellowship Hall late one Wednesday morning in October to find some thirty women busy at work, sitting around tables or in a far corner hovering over an assortment of bags. The room was filled with cheerful chatter yet everyone worked with a determined purpose. I asked Tracy Baird to help me understand the WOW ministry. Which ministries do you serve and in what way do you serve them? How do you choose a service project? In our relationship with Community Outrea...

Touched By Service: April 2010
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Last night I had the pleasure and priviledge to help commission ten new Stephen Ministers, Christian lay-counselors, into our Perimeter Church fold. It was a wonderful experience, and reminded me of my own commissioning last year. I'm posting here today what I wrote on my own blog in April '09:. As I got into the car I found two notes sitting on the passenger seat. Jill and Linley had driven to the church to deliver them, wanting me to know they were there for me even thoug...

Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Here’s how the Prison Pen-Pal Ministry works:. 1 An inmate will request a pen-pal by completing a response card and mailing it to the Perimeter Church pen-pal address. 2 An email will be sent to interested parties asking if you would volunteer to write to that inmate. 3 Volunteers will be matched to the inmate of his/her choosing based on his/her personal criteria and level of comfort. Once matched, you will mail the first letter from your home or business to:. Duluth, GA 30097.

Touched By Service: August 2009
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. This week I've chosen to tell the story of a family which has been touched by service. This is the true story (names changed) of a family when in need last year was served well, and touched abundantly, by the Norcross Co-operative Ministry:. Christmas was just around the corner, but not all were joyful. In a short span of only a few months, the Browns went from two gainfully employed parents of four to jobless, homeless, and practically hopeless. That question was faithfully answ...

Touched By Service: May 2009
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. A few months ago I began to hear people talking about an organization called Street GRACE. Curious about Street GRACE, I began to dig around to find out what the organization does. It didn’t take long to realize just what an important mission the organization has undertaken – to eradicate the commercial sexual exploitation of children (referred to as CSEC) in Atlanta. GRACE is an acronym that means Galvanizing Resources Against Child Exploitation. Secondly, we are working to esta...

Touched By Service: Sleep Well Tonight
http://touchedbyservice.blogspot.com/2009/12/sleep-well-tonight.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. Twice now I’ve seen groups of people sitting on the floor or around conference tables hunched over large sheets of flannel. They were tying two pieces of flannel together to make blankets, blankets with knotted tassels along all four sides. Blankets that would be donated to provide warmth to someone sleeping in a cold drafty home, or worse, outside in the stark weather. Tell me how your ministry began. How did the knotted blankets and volunteers come into play? But as it is t...
