TODAY, East Fairview will again be traveling to New York City to provide a service and serve a meal to the homeless at the Bowery Mission. last two years the entire church van was filled and it would be great to fill it up again this year!! This is an excellent way to actively live out Jesus' challenge to us in Matthew 25 "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." will leave from the Church after Sunday School and return around 11pm. will stop for meals on the way and, if time allows, tour New York for a brief period of time before the service. , we can tour the Outreach Center to get a greater insight into the Bowery's mission. is encouraged to join us for this afternoon of fellowship while commuting (I understand the back of the van was a bit bouncy last year - so we may go a bit slower this year), serving Jesus and supporting those who attend and provide the service!! my experience everyone who has attended and assisted in the serving the food or providing the service has been challenged in their Faith. NOW TO JOIN US!! Scott Moyer at 203 0458 or scott.a.moyer@us.pwc.com with questions or comments.
