Every year there are dozens of organizations that request Calvary's help and/or assistance in fullfilling their mission. Some of these organizations are non-for-profit agencies that deal with homelessness, poverty, or even domestic violence. Others are church-related missions that seek to meet needs locally, while others are more national, or even international, in scope. All are worthy.
Noting that there are, indeed, hundreds of organizations out there doing great work, it is easy to see that the need is even larger. Actually, it's overwhelming.
Our annual mission fair at Calvary (this weekend and throughout February) highlights those missions that Calvary seeks to fulfill. We can't, and in fact don't, do everything. But we do support a surprising number of missions, and if you give some attention to the information booths this month, you'll discover how God is working through Calvary.
Last year, Calvary gave nearly $1700 to support our local Brownsburg "Cheer Committee" . . . a loose-array of volunteers who seek to meet local needs throughout the community. Calvary also serves as the "call center" for these needs when they arise . . . and so our work is far more than just giving money.
I could mention many other missions, and will . . . but you can see for yourself as you peruse the mission fair booths in the coming weeks. Keep your eyes and your heart peeled for a mission you might want to be involved in.
There are many. And there's a place of service for everyone.
