Hey friends of Thrive Community Church! The verse from today's One Year Bible reading that I really liked was from Revelation 19:8
"She (the church) has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear. For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God's holy people."
I find that this verse is pretty appropriate on the heels of our Christmas Eve offering of $1700 dollars to go towards community services. There is nothing like good deeds to give a visual demonstration of God's great love and compassion.
Thrive also teamed with Harvest Time International and gave away nearly $1000 worth of gas cards to some of the people who need it most. We participated in the WESH News Channel 2 share your Christmas charity event. Did I mention the Walk for Autism? We sponsored needy students at Spruce Creek High School who could not afford the extra curricular activities fee. Thrive also met needs of struggling families from Spruce Creek Elementary School. By the way, we did all of this in the past 2 months!
My Prayer for Today : Lord I am so honored to be a part of a congregation that has done so much in such a short time. My Prayer is that acts of charity would be second nature - a way of life. Like the people in the book of Revelation, may we be known as a people clothed in good deeds.
Amen
