Sole Love Final Tally
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
Back in February we led the Sole Love Project to collect shoes for people in need around the world. The final results are in! We collected 467 pairs of shoes. It’s exciting to see such love being displayed by God’s people but more importantly we celebrate the fact that now 467 people will have a pair of shoes. Thanks God for allowing us to be a part of caring for those in need.
FEED 30 Results
Thursday, June 17, 2010
The goal of the Feed 30 love project was for Common Ground to help R.O.C.K. (Recreational Outreach to Community Kids), a Town of Leesburg outreach program, provide food to help thirty families get through the summer. The children of these famlies receive free or reduced lunches during the school year but without help they would have been left scrounging for food or going hungry in the summer. In two weeks Common Ground and the community were able to collect 242 full bags of food and were able to help over 60 families. Huge thanks to everyone who gave, collected, organized, and packaged food. This is yet another example of how love leads to life.
Moms Are Feeling Loved
Monday, May 10, 2010
Yesterday we led the “Celebrate Mom” love project and it was a big success. Over 120 people came out to enjoy a breakfast. Many ladies walked away with a gift that was donated from the community. We gave away gifts valued at around $1,500. One lucky mom went home with one-week accammodations to Myrtle Beach! Our goal was to love moms by celebrating them for all they do in our lives, community, nation, and world! I’m confident we accomplished our goal. Special thanks to all who volunteered!
Stories of Random Acts of Love
Friday, March 05, 2010
Our love project for March is Random Acts of Love. This project is a challenge to give away unbound love. Unbound love is a love that stretches us, a love that is unsual and possibly uncomfortable. It could be that you offer love to someone you don’t know, don’t usually love, or simply an act of spontaneous love. It’s a once a week challenge for the month of March that we hope will become a normal part of our lives. Inspire others to love by sharing the random acts of love you give away each week by leaving a comment below:
