Keeping up with the Jones'

It's not what you think.........

We had the Jones family over for dinner.

They go to our church, Bayview!

There are 6 Thorntons and 7 Jones - so "keeping up" means a lot of food!

5 lbs of hamburger + 5 lbs of chicken = tacos for 13!!





Some of their girls and some of our boys! 

Our baby and their baby - aren't they adorable?!!!

We are working together on HOPE Sunday. 
And we are excited about what God has put on our hearts!

HOPE

How do you give HOPE?

It's easy to give a hungry person food

Or a naked person clothes

or a cold person a blanket

or a homeless person a place to sleep


but HOPE?

Sometimes hope starts with
food,
clothes,
a blanket
and a place to sleep.

But it can't end there.

Giving HOPE involves relationship.

Investing

in someone's life

to the point

that your own life

might become

uncomfortable

Are you willing to give HOPE??

May is foster care month.  Events are taking place nationwide.
Check here for an event in your area.
Foster care is full of children who need HOPE.
It doesn't just mean that you take in a child.
There is MUCH you can do besides that, or in addition to that.

If you live on Guam,
JOIN US!!
