Official Invite

I want to officially invite everyone to come to our clean-up day on Saturday Oct 20th at Winbourne Baptist Church. We are launching our fourth Dream Center (yep, 4th...1,2,3,4. Can you even believe it?!?) and on Saturday at 8am we're getting the place ready.

I know what you're thinking: spending a Saturday cleaning up a huge church doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Who wants to spend their day off hauling furniture, cutting grass and mopping floors? Well, here's the deal: we're hauling furniture to set up the room where we'll have bible studies, after-school programs and homeless outreach. We're cutting grass so that the kids that will frequent our Dream Center have a safe environment in which to learn and play. We're mopping floors so that when the people in the community come to see us they feel respected, loved and valued.

It's never about floors; it's always about souls. It's about being a good steward of the things God has entrusted to us. We want to please Him and we want Him to give us more. Understand though, we don't want more buildings for the sake of buildings; it goes back to souls. More buildings means more work, but also more lives touched. We have an opportunity this Saturday to sow into the lives of hundreds of people living in north Baton Rouge. They need to see the love of Christ and they need to know we care.

That being said, y'all are officially invited to come out Saturday morning and make a difference in someone's life. Bring your vacuum or your weed-whacker or both. Bring your spouse, your kids or a date. (Hint: Chicks dig guys who volunteer. Seriously, I'm not just saying that to make you come.)

Saturday 8am corner of Winbourne and Foster. See you there!
