Jan 21, 2024 – Sunday at Crossline
I was delighted to meet Beth Wood, the new “Care” Ministry director at Crossline Community Church, Laguna Hills, California.
At Crossline, the Blessing Bags OC ministry is part of the churches Care Ministry. So naturally she was interested to hear about Blessing Gags OC. I explained our establishment last year, our purpose and mission – to equip church members “with a bag in every car trunk”, so that should they run across someone in need, they will be equipped to minister to them God’s love with a blessing bag.
I also described what was in each bag, and how that the church supplies many of the items through the Food Pantry ministry. I also gave Beth a sample bag so she could review the contents, and get more familiar with what we hand out.
So wouldn’t you know it! On the way home from church that very same day, Beth ran into a homeless woman on her way. She stopped, greeted the woman, and handed her a blessing bag. She was so thankful! And Beth now says she need a refill! That is no problem, I let her know – that is what we do: equip the saints.
Have a blessed day!
