Feeling helpless? Here's what you can do to help

Honestly, I'm feeling a little helpless.

With many issues that we face, there are organizations in the city and nation that we can partner with financially to help solve the problem.  Yet, non-profit funding isn't the issue with COVID-19.

We have strategic ministry partners that oftentimes specialize in mobilizing large groups of people to serve in the face of crisis.  Yet, gathering in large crowds is prohibited right now.

So what do we do?!

Here's a simple idea that could make a big impact that you and everyone in your group could do.

The card below was designed by a lady that wanted to check in on her neighbors as some of them were self-isolating due to flu-like symptoms.  She printed this card with her contact info, placed it in an envelope, and taped in on the door or put it in the mailbox of her neighbors.

She says she hasn't gotten any requests yet from neighbors, but at the very least she has taken a step to help her neighbors feel comfortable in reaching out.  

Likewise, most people probably won't respond to your offer, but consider the message it sends to those around you!  If you have any ways that you are trying to help others during this challenging season, then send them to me.  I'd love to pass on creative ways that your rGroup is being the Church and thinking outside of the box to reach people.
