HOMELESS MINISTRY-BACKBAGS OF GRACE
One of Pastor Chuck’s past sermons was titled “Remember and Remind” from 2 Timothy 2:8-15. Remember who Jesus is! How He loves us! It is all about Jesus-not about us. He died on the cross for each one of us! Let’s not miss the important things. We are reminded to love those around us in verse 15, “Do you best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” Remember Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply,” I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine you did for me.” We thank each one who remains faithful; Jesus knows what you did for His brothers. We greatly appreciate your most generous gifts. Thank you for helping us fill the Bags of Grace. May God Bless You!!!! With Our Love,
Your Friends from the Homeless Ministry
The Homeless Ministry
The Homeless Ministry is a ministry of Homestead Park United Methodist Church’s Outreach Power Team. Sharing God’s love with the homeless is our group’s passion. We seek to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the men and women living on the streets and under the bridges in the City of Pittsburgh, Pa. Volunteers from HPUMC and several community churches weekly prepare lunch bags that consist of a meat sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fresh fruit, snacks, pastries, devotional material, and a bottle of water. These lunch bags are distributed on Sunday mornings by a team of volunteers that go into the city and look for the homeless. Currently, the ministry is providing 50 lunch bags and increasing the nutritional value of sandwiches. Donations of coats, blankets, hats, gloves and socks are distributed during the winter months as they are donated to the ministry. Donated personal hygiene items such as Kleenex, lotions, hand sanitizers, are also included in the bags. We appreciate all donations made to the Homeless Ministry. If you are interested in joining our ministry team please leave a message at the church office (412) 462-9030 for Jim Mouring, Chairman.
