The Preacher's Wife: LOVE Week Continues.....

What an amazing week! LOVE Week has been a phenomenal success as we’ve seen thousands of people spread the love of Jesus by serving Charlotte and the surrounding area.

By midnight last night, you’d served more than 26,000 hours and the number keeps ticking upwards with each sandwich made, each snack bag assembled, each article of clothing sorted, and each pair of shoes boxed up to serve a child.

And the best is yet to come. Today through Sunday there are still more than 150 opportunities for you to write your better story in service to our region.

Here are some of the big family-friendly events I know you’ll love. Click on the links to sign up.

Friendship Trays – today you can take a meal to a homebound neighbor. It’s a lunchtime opportunity that’s great for kids who will love saying hello and handing over lunch to a senior citizen in need.

Birchcroft Cookout and Job Fair – Saturday, the opportunities are endless. Join us from 12-4pm as we partner with Renovatus church to serve lunch and help refugees fill out job applications.

One7 Cleanup – Join us 9-Noon as we help our friends at One7 clean up their brand new site. This inner-city youth ministry is a family favorite as a game of soccer or football always breaks out at a One7 event.

Samaritan’s Feet Shoes of Hope – One of my family’s favorite things to do this week has been sorting shoes at the Samaritan’s Feet warehouse. Saturday from 9-4 you get to be a part of actually giving these shoes away at Druid Hills Elementary School.

Purple Heart Homes Walk/Run/Couples Relay – This 10k event in Statesville is an opportunity to support an organization that provides personalized housing solutions for veterans injured in service to our country.

Matthews Free Medical Clinic and Christ Our Shepherd – Join us at 10:30am at the Matthews Free Medical Clinic as we announce a new partnership there. Stay to serve at the Free Clinic day or walk across the street to Christ Our Shepherd where they’ll be working to improve the children’s wing inside and beautify the grounds outside.

And the list goes on. There are opportunities near every Elevation location on Saturday to blitz the neighborhoods with LOVE. Then on Sunday, be prepared to serve right after the worship experience and bring items to “Stuff the Truck.”

Thank you for all you’ve done already to bring God’s love to our city. If you haven’t joined in yet, there’s still time – don’t miss out! Go to LOVEWEEKCHARLOTTE.COM to see all the opportunities to serve!
