The Journey got together today and held a benefit car wash from 10am to 1pm (see pics below) to give money to a sister church of ours that is right in the thick of hurricane relief in Houston. Due to the hard work & generosity of our church members and the generosity of our fellow citizens in the Rochester area, we were able to raise $650 dollars.
For the first hour, it seemed we could hardly get anyone to pull into our lot - I was nervous. But after 11am, the cars started pouring in. Thanks to all of you who maintained good attitudes and just "washed your hearts out!"
I am so thankful for each and every man, woman, teen, and child who contributed. I remind you of the Bible passage in Matthew 25:37-40 "Then these righteous ones will reply, `Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' And the King will tell them, `I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'
To The Journey - you might not ever see the results on earth of your generosity, but you will receive a reward from God Himself. Know that the Lord considers the service done for those who are hurting and hungry and needy is service done for Him. I sincerely thank you. God bless you. - Pastor
