October Outreach – Cross of Glory Lutheran Church

OCTOBER OUTREACH & EVANGELISM FOCUS:
FOOD BANK OF THE ROCKIES
So many verses and parables teach us how we should be living our days. We recall the story of Lazarus. Jesus told a story of a poor man named Lazarus who longed, yes, longed, to satisfy his hunger.
I wonder what it felt like to lay on the ground, his body covered in sores, nothing to eat, day after day? I hope and pray no one in our Cross of Glory family ever experiences a single day like that! Yes, our Lord took care of Lazarus after he died, but the rich man in the story did not care for Lazarus while he was alive.
Our focus for October will be the Food Bank of the Rockies… our designated $500 monthly benevolence to give food to the poor.
If you are available to volunteer at the Food Bank, please visit their website at foodbankrockies.org.
Click on “Volunteer” and go through the sign up. They can really use the help with holidays coming.
