1 Peter 4:10 - 11 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Last weekend we were blessed with the opportunity to serve at our local Ronald McDonald House with the other couples in our church small group. We volunteered to go to the house to prepare and serve dinner to the 50 guests that are staying there. We created a YUMMY mexican buffet complete with chicken and/or beef tacos, beans, rice, chips, salsa, and 2 different dessert options. We were so excited to talk with some of the families living there and to eat dinner beside them that evening.
Our hope is that these families caught a glimpse of the amount of love that Christ has for them. We hope that they know that to God be the glory for all that we provided them in such an amazing place during a difficult time in their lives. We also pray that they know that The Summit Church loves them and wants to help them during their stay/journey. We have always loved the Ronald McDonald house but we're eager to get more connected to this place and to serve there more regularly in the time ahead.
Here are some fun pictures from our night:
