16634_212121668626_579978626_4026758_3575304_n

Last week we had a great time passing out candy and giving away free high fives! Check out some of our pictures here. It’s funny how such a small gesture of kindness can have such a deep impact. Yet, it’s these small acts of love, done in the name of Christ, that have the ability to reach people. As we gear up for our next service project, I invite you to join us in showing love to the college students of our area.

College finals week is approaching fast at ECTC. Open House sees this as an awesome opportunity to serve our local community again! We will be passing out free coffee, hot chocolate & doughnuts to local college students & faculty. We need your help to make it happen.

December 7th & 8th, Monday & Tuesday, we will be setting up a station in the Academic & Technical Building of ECTC. We will have four different sessions (listed below) to serve as a community. The 6am time is not a typo! :)

Monday & Tuesday shifts:

6am-10am

4pm – 8pm

If you are interested in serving please call me at 270.734.9765 or email me at mike (at) openhouseky (dot) org.

Serving on Black Friday

The busiest shopping day of the year is upon us…Black Friday! (A.K.A the day after Thanksgiving) Thousands of people in this area will be falling over one another to get the best deals at the best prices on the best stuff!  I know firsthand what it’s like to be in retail on that day and let me tell you, it’s miserable and crazy!  Oftentimes the employees get yelled at and treated harshly for no reason whatsoever.

And it is into this setting that we want to inject God’s love.

On November 27, Open House will be passing out small gift bags of candy to employees right in the midst of their chaotic day…and you’re invited! We will be passing out candy bags to the Radcliff Wal-Mart, Towne Mall, and E-town Target.  This is a very easy and practical way to show unconditional love to the people of our community.

There are a few different ways that you can get involved with this project:

  1. The next two Sundays, bring bags of non-Halloween-marked candy to church on Sunday morning that we can use in our goodie bags. This week both Kroger and ALDI have good candy sales. We are really appreciative for your help on this!
  2. We also have a need for more people to serve! Email me at mike (at) openhouseky (dot) org and let me know that you are interested in serving and I will contact you.
  3. Pray that this small act of love would point someone towards Jesus!

Stay tuned for other upcoming service projects in the near future! For more info about Open House check out our webpage or go to our Fan Page on Facebook.
