Hands on Franklin

Some things never get old.  This past Saturday, several Ridgies (Ridgeview Community Church) partnered with "Feed Franklin First" for the annual fall event of assisting under-resourced residents of Franklin.  I know the weatherman said it was cooler, but the sun was hot as we pitched in to set up a clothing area, food distribution, stage, and inflatable for kids.  Once again, Paul Kevetter, our Student Pastor, had his hands all over the event.  Several of our students where there to do some "heavy lifting" and multiply what Paul was able to do.  Just watching the people gather from the neighborhood told me that we (RCC) had an opportunity for Kingdom impact. 
We always learn from these kind of events.  Probably, we could have coordinated better, and executed better.  I guess my point is that this past Saturday was an opportunity for our church to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community.
Now, if we, as individual and families, can just begin to see the opportunities that we are presented with every day.  
Lets go change our world.
