God's Love for Us and Others...

Last Saturday we held our Winter Auto Care Saturday at Chapelgate Presbyterian Church. The temperature was cold, but not as cold as the previous day nor the day to follow. There was snow on the ground, but none on the pavement. That allowed our guys to work on the ground without getting both cold and wet. We did not have every volunteer we desired, but we never felt overwhelmed or frantic.

It seemed that every time we had any reason to feel anxious, God would intervene and remind us that this was His event. Because He wanted to care for these women, He provided the best weather of the weekend. Because He knows we grow tired and discouraged, He limited the number of guests who could attend. Because He wanted to feed a homeless family, He provided two lunches for our volunteers. One we ate and one we gave to the homeless family.

As you prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, we hope the events at Auto Care will remind you just how much He goes out of the way to show His love for you.

Auto Care Saturday would be impossible without the help of the following people and organizations:
  • Melissa C
  • Bryan C
  • Dale D
  • Jesse
  • Nathan W
  • Mike C
  • Greg B
  • Abraham C
  • Zack O
  • Fred K
  • Tim S
  • Dave S
Lunch was provided by a small group from Calvary Community Church and Penny S.
All our automotive supplies were provided by Napa via  Christian Services of Howard County
The following Churches provided volunteers
  • Calvary Community Church
  • Chapelgate Presbyterian Church
  • DaySpring Presbyterian Church
  • Oak Ridge Community Church

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
