 I am praying for you this morning…
Awhile back I was given my Dad’s old baseball glove. As I study it, I first notice how worn it is…lots of baseballs went “thud” in that glove. And then as I look again, I notice that there are only 4 fingers on this glove! Huh? Daddy had 5 fingers. Why 4 on this weathered old mitt? Do you ever feel like something is missing in your life? Is it strength? Confidence? Courage? Endurance? Assurance? Love? Hope? Peace? Joy? Back to the aged, 4-finger glove… Possibly, since our “baby finger” is the weakest part of our hand, having 2 fingers together gives added strength and support to grip the ball. Hmmmm. This is like one person helping another…walking the journey with them. Like God walking with us, giving us strength and support for our upward climbs. Like helping us grip the hard balls in life when they go “thud”. “Two people are better than one, for they can help each other succeed.” Ecclesiastes 4:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you may go.” Joshua 1:9 -Beth Palmer  Community Health Worker, Lori Payne, Project Manager, Millie Goode, and Community Health Worker, Emily Morales. Light on the Hill is excited to announce that we have received the Methodist Healthcare Ministries Community Impact Grant for 2023! This grant will allow us to expand our outreach efforts to our community by funding support staffing and program expenses for ongoing food relief and community connections to help people with their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs. This funding will provide for a project manager to oversee the initiative and allows us to hire two part-time community health workers to be the boots on the ground serving our community. Millie Goode will serve as the project manager and Emily Morales and Lori Payne will serve as our community health workers. We are so grateful and excited for all who will benefit from this amazing expansion to our efforts to serve our neighbor! Thank you MHM!!!  Kerrville First United Methodist Church’s Food4Kids program provides food on the weekends for children experiencing food insecurity from our neighboring school, Nimitz Elementary. Other churches in our community have also adopted local schools in our county to be a blessing! KFUMC is currently helping almost 60 students and their families who do not have enough nutritious food to sustain them throughout the weekends. Many families depend on breakfast and lunch for their children at school and when school is not in session, like on weekends, it provides a hardship for the family. Our awesome unpaid servants help with the shopping, packing, delivering and distributing of the food to make this program possible. Food4Kids is a food relief ministry connected with our Mustard Seed Pantry. Thank you for supporting Food4Kids!  Thank you to Bryant Williams for his generous gift of a golf cart to our outreach ministry! This will help with providing accessibility for our neighbors with mobility challenges to all of our outreach ministries.  
Please join us as we pray for our Liberia Mission Team who are there serving alongside the local Methodist Church. May God bless them and protect them!  |
