Hispanic Ministry in Dayton

Our Common Cup clergy served a meal today for the participants of a Hispanic seminar held at St. Pauls United Methodist Outreach Center in Dayton. It was exciting to have a small part in helping behind the scenes for this vital ministry. One of the goals of our Common Cup clergy group is to be involved in a hands on mission outreach at least once every two months as a group.

This week's 40 day "Prayers, Presence, Gifts, & Service" readings at Faith Community are focusing on service and being involved in hands on missions. Personally, I have found that a good way to be involved in hands on missions is by participating in a small group that makes this a priority.

I like the concept of small groups/bible studies/Sunday School classes being involved in hands on mission outreach on a regular basis. Not only does it give group members an opportunity to put their faith into practice, it also deepens the relationships among the group members.

Look at how much fun we had in preparing the meal tonight!
