“And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it.”
~ Philemon 1:6 The Message
One of the ways that our Faith Journey groups have grown together is through serving our communities. When she started her first group, Lisa was surprised by how little women had been exposed to or experienced the blessing of serving people in need. Luke 12:48 says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” As we take stock of everything we have, we believe we are blessed to bless others. In addition to material resources, many women also have the gift of time.
Each Faith Journey group serves in different ways and the FJ Team of leaders includes those women who help to coordinate and encourage women from all groups to get connected with their community needs.
Serving together in the Sacramento region can look like offering lunch at Loaves and Fishes downtown, teaching adult life skills at Power House ministries in Folsom, collecting baby items for teen girls who was pregnant and alone, providing tutoring and friendship to kids with Folsom’s Hope, or bringing breakfast items to Wellspring which provides a safe haven for abused women!
Faith Journey women growing in their understanding of what it means to live the truths they study! We are going into the crowds: the down and out, the widows, the drug addicts, the prostitutes, the incarcerated, the homeless and jobless… and learning to love people the ways Jesus loves us!
