SHOW CHRIST

Dear Frontier Supporter,
Look what God is doing through your gifts for Christ’s Church in Franklin, Indiana.  

Each year thousands of people flow through the emergency room at Johnson Memorial Hospital.  Each winter many are rushed in without warm clothes on. When it’s time to go home they don’t have hats, gloves, scarves or proper winter attire. So the hospital asks the community to donate hats gloves and scarves to give to people to wear home.  This is just the kind of small project we LOVE to do.  
We believe that Jesus didn’t just talk about loving people but he showed it in acts of kindness toward the needy.  Imitating His love we feed the hungry, cloth the naked and visit those in prison. Sometimes that means giving gloves, hats and scarves in Jesus name. People don’t just hear of our love, they see it. 
I am very encouraged by how each member of Christ Church take personally their responsibility to love their neighbors as themselves. We love in word and deed.
And so our Grow Group home Bible studies take on projects together. We have fed the homeless, made quilts for Nursing home residents, counseled pregnant teens,  witnessed to prisoners in the county jail and given school supplies to needy children.  
Our mission at Christ’s Church is to lead people to KNOW Christ, GROW in Christ and SHOW Christ.  Showing Christ is much more than words, it’s action. Your gifts have supported the teaching of Scripture that have inspired these actions.  I am taking two large kitchen trash bags full of new hats, gloves and scarves donated by Christ’s Church members to the hospital today. 
Thank you for your partnership in SHOWing Jesus to Johnson County!
