Lee Ministries Seeking Help for Elderly Couple
To the Members of the Body of Christ:
We would like to take this opportunity to share with you one of the highlights of Celebration Ministries. Celebration Ministries is one of the outreach arms of LUMC into the community for Jesus. As an outreach we go into the homes of our elderly, and the vulnerable public. We carry meals, build ramps, we provide transportation to doctors, we assist with grocery shopping, provide respite care, connect our clients with with available servicies to meet their needs beyond our bounderies. We also share a small supply of medical equipment such as: wheel chairs, canes, walkers, beside commodes and even a hospital bed. We are fatih based and reach into a faith community that is not limited to the Methodist faith. We reach where Holy Spirit leads.
We have an elderly couple in our church that is in need. This couple serves our community of faith tirelessly and quietly. Unasked they have been responsible for maintaining the grounds this past summer when the health of those meeting that need failed and were unable to continue their duties. They have reached out in faith to provide shelter for a young woman visiting in our country. They assisted her until she was able to stand alone in the care for her infant child . They continue to help the elderly in our area. They mindful of community needs. Even though they struggle with their own illnesses they continue to reach out with the love of Christ. Now is our opportunity to assist them.
With their own failing health they can no longer continue restoration on their home. Where they have managed to make their home livable they are loosing ground do to a deteriorating roof. With multiple leaks the damage is adding up. Our quest is to replace their roof and show them of a greater love returning to them.
Ben Ewing, of Ewing construction, is dedicating his talent to the Lord. Under his contractors license he will provide staff, expertise, and insurances for the project. He has connected with Studstill Lumber in Madison, and they are willing as well to add to the blessing. Here is how you can help. Glen, owner of Studstills, has set up an account for LUMC Celebration Ministries. If you would like to make a contribution you may call 973-6106 and ask an employee to help you. You may also call Celebration Ministires at 971-5380. You may wish to buy a sheet of tin, or a piece of plywood or even a bag of screws. Together as the Body of Christ all things can be done according to His perfect will. His perfect will is that we serve one another. If a contribution is not possible for you then never ever doubt your contribution of prayer. Our prayers to the Father in the name of the Son Jesus has the ability to shake the Heavens and He will hear the cry of His people.
