The New Life church in Hampton, Va., jumpstarted their Outreach Ministries by reaching out to its sick and shut-in members with a warm meal and fellowship.
Volunteers Lawrence and Gladys Suggs, and Charles and Linda Ridley prepared and delivered the meals. The surprise deliveries were met with smiles, tears of gratitude and a sense of connection that transcended physical distance.
“Our church is a family, and family means being there for one another, especially during challenging times,” says Charles. “We live up to our motto: ‘New Life Church—Where Hope Grows and Love Shows.’”
This small act of kindness has inspired the church to find more creative ways to serve one another this year.
