Way to Go Salem!

Way to go Salem family! Your generosity is a blessing to many. On Saturday, there were over 130 coats given out to families who came to our coat drive. What a blessing to know that your generous spirit is being used to bless many families and was used to share the love of Christ with others.

On Sunday evening we prayed over 155 Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes that will be used to bless children and share the Gospel with families around the world. I envision many bright eyed; smiling; happy children blessed and excited by the love they will be receiving through the gifts that are enclosed in each shoebox. What a blessing that is to all of us!

This ministry brings to mind the words of Christ in Matthew 25:37-40

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’" Matthew 25:37-40 (ESV)

May the words of “the King” ring in our ears this Christmas season and all the year long.

Grateful to be a part of the Salem Family,
Pastor Mike
