Last week at senior high everyone was asked to bring a specific item to put in a bagged lunch, such as bread, fruit, juice boxes, etc. This week we gathered together early to make and put together 150 bagged lunches as a service project for one of MPC mission partners, Light of Life ministries. Light of Life is located on Pittsburgh's northside and provides meals and services to the homeless of our city. You can learn more about them here :

Tomorrow these lunches will be dropped off at Light of Life and distributed to people needing a meal.
We then played some games.
And Bob shared about God's incredible love for us and how unfathomable that love really is. We discussed Ephesians 2 :10 -
10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
We talked about being compeled to share the love of God and what that means for us today and where we are placed now.
It was such a blessing to have an evening of serving together, fun, and discussing the magnitude of God's love for his children.
11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! -Matthew 7:11
Have a blessed week, and take some time to ponder how much God loves you and what that compels you to do!
