Serving to change lives for eternity |
copyright Z Foundation, 2009 |
Saturday, April 17th, a group of about 20 Z Foundation volunteers had an amazing chance to serve and love on about 150 homeless folks at Open Door Church, in Southeast Knoxville. We provided, prepared and served a wonderful meal of pulled pork sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, baked beans and cookies. We also provided about 45 minutes of worship, with a band of nine talented and willing musicians from Two Rivers Church. We set up our gigantic screen to show the lyrics, so the people could sing along and worship, not just listen. Jon Hatton provided "worship painting" and created two phenomenal paintings during both the singing and the message. |

Sally spoke briefly, sharing Zach's story and explaining why the Z Foundation was there at Open Door Church. The purpose of her message was to break down the walls between "us" and "them" through the common experience of pain and tragedy, and to encourage people to choose to trust God and follow Him, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Many of us felt the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit throughout the worship, message and serving and mingling afterwards. |
We will be doing this every third Saturday and we highly encourage you to come and join us for an awesome experience! We would love to show up with 10-20 volunteers each month. It is an eye-opening, God-filled, incredible opportunity to show the love of Jesus to the less fortunate. |
