the shirt off his back

4/26/10 Yesterday, we had a wonderful time when we were challenged to Rethink Church. We went out into the community to do local mission projects instead of gathering for worship and Sunday School. Then we gathered for lunch and a brief worship service at a nearby elementary school cafeteria. For the sermon, I invited person to share how they met Christ in those whom they served that morning. One story came from the group that went to be with the homeless persons who worship at something called Church Under the Bridge. Our congregation took clothes that they handed out to the mostly men who came to worship. When asked what kind of shirt he wanted, one man pointed to one of our church member's bright red t-shirt that had the Rethink Church logo on it. He said, "I want one like that." Our church member gave him the shirt off of his back!

Love,
Lynn
