VioletGroups - You feed them!
In Luke 9:13–17, we read the familiar story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. The disciples came to Jesus concerned about the hungry crowd, and Jesus responded with a simple challenge: “You give them something to eat.” I thought about that passage recently while sitting down with one of our VioletGroup leaders. She shared with me how her group has been providing food each month for people living in a homeless encampment here on the east side. So often, when we see a need, our first response is to pray and ask God to help—and we absolutely should pray! But sometimes God may turn the question back to us: “You feed them.” That is exactly what this VioletGroup is doing. They are putting their faith into action and being the hands and feet of Jesus by caring for people right here in our community. Would you pray with me that as they continue to meet these practical needs, God will open doors for relationships to grow and for them to share the good news of Jesus? This is what it means to be a VioletGroup—finding community, discovering purpose, and making a difference so that others can know Jesus.
