buffalyguy, I really like the idea of a car maintenance day after church.
That’s a bit of charity that can really impact someone’s life RIGHT THEN.
Great idea!
Regards,
I think this fits into the Early Church model. If a fellow believer was in trouble, the church was there for them.
I’m not sure how the community wide soup kitchens and charity (random handing out of goods and services) fits into this model. The former had oversight, so when a member no longer needed help they were “encouraged” to become productive again. The latter seems too easily abused by the professional indigent.
It’s simple to do and sometimes you can even teach the women how to change oil and tune their own cars.
It can change someone’s life.
