Sojourner Sunday Update

Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon a old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, "Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!" and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup–where does that get you? Isn't it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense? James 2:15,16

Bev Bafus, board member and treasurer for Sojourner's Alliance, brought these words from James to the Gatherings at CLC this morning, as well as a short list of opportunities to assist in the mission of SA to help our neighbors on the Palouse.

1. Contributions from individuals (that's us) make up about 25% of the income for SA. In the last year that source of income has fallen off dramatically.
2. SA heavily relies on the guidance and expertise of it's 13-member board. Currently, five of those board seats are vacant. One of them might have your name on it.
3. Shop at the SA Thrift Store in Troy next time you are looking for a second-hand item.
4. Volunteer as a helper at the SA Food Bank.
5. Pray for the board, staff, and residents of Sojourner's Alliance, and for the faith community of CLC as we consider what God-acts should accompany our God-talk.
