Happy, hoppy kids ready to hunt for eggs |
Connecting resources with needs is about so much more than food… even
when you grill 700 hotdogs for a community-wide picnic and Easter Egg Hunt! This is the 5th year CSM has joined hands with Avondale United
Methodist Church and Red Mountain Church to invite families from the whole community to connect with each other over lunch on the grounds of Avondale Park, surrounded by new blooms of Spring.
"Connecting our
resources" (in this case, supplying and grilling hotdogs, providing the drinks and other
food items) with our impact community partner’s need actually connects people
to people for the sake of the Gospel. Our food and physical resources are just a conduit for God's love and a way for us to love His children. The relational and spiritual impact is the central driver for everything we do at CSM... because He is risen!

He is risen, indeed! |
