I have had an unbelievable time this summer with this crazy staff and chaotic teens.
My name is Ainsley Bond and I am the new FUMC Youth Ministries Intern!
At the First Street Mission, our prayer is that we run ourselves out of business. For decades, hundreds of volunteers have worked tirelessly to provide for the basic needs of neighbors who are experiencing poverty and homelessness.
Paul counseled the Philippians to, “Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.” (Phil. 4:5a). In other words, get a Godly grip on yourselves, friends!
Over the next weeks as we wind our way through Lent and Holy Week towards Easter morning, let’s hold the Spirit-sustaining Fruit of Joy in our hearts and thank God for the risen Christ.
We cannot develop the Fruit of Patience without ripening the Fruit of Peace.
It’s humbling to be here, surrounded by people living their faith. It’s also fun, challenging, and inspiring. You’re invited to join us sometime. Sign up for a tour and see for yourself.
As Christians we know without question that God’s love never leaves us; that nothing can separate us from the love of God.
First Street Methodist Mission was filled with music and laughing today. It may have been cold and cloudy outside, but our friends were inside celebrating together.
Those filled with Goodness are tenderhearted and grateful, and exude love, joy, and concern.
