Homeless Bag Project

Scripture tells us about the importance of unity and building up the Body of Christ when you're placed in a role within the church.  It also mentions that a church is to have a sense of community inside and outside of the church, as well as serve like our Lord Jesus Christ did (Ephesians 4:10-13; Mark 10:45).

Here at First Baptist Maddoxtown we can serve our community by helping those who are in less fortunate situations AS us. Jesus showed this form of compassion by focusing on the poor as well as those who were considered outcasts, like tax collectors and sinners (Matthew 9:10; Proverbs 19:17; Proverbs 28:27)

Helping the homeless is a beautiful way to build upon our sense of community within the church as well as prepare us for more serving this upcoming year.  Please note that helping the homeless is NOT an act to get recognition, but an act of kindness and love centered around the characteristics of Christ.
