This is a copy of my latest post on the Communitas Collective blog
Recently the church I used to belong to started an Emergency Clothes Closet. This ministry offers free clothes to people in need in our community. They don’t have to have any connection with the church.
I’m excited about this because when I was part of the church it didn’t have any ministries meeting material needs in the community.
To be honest, this didn’t really hit me until after I left. I was thinking about what I did strongly believe in. Helping people in need was definitely on the list. Then I noticed that the people I knew from my former church who helped in that way weren’t doing it through a ministry of that church. Because there weren’t any.
I’m so pleased this has changed. One of the local newspapers has already written about The Closet. I hope The Closet will put Calvary Memorial Church on the map locally as a ‘caring church’.
