Each year as we move from winter to spring, there seems to be an excitement in the air knowing that warmer weather is coming. In the Compassion and Justice ministry, we also get excited because it means moving into our Celebration of Hope campaign.
For the past several years, Willow has come together to learn about the needs of people living in desperate situations. We have engaged our minds and hearts to consider the plight of those who are in need while searching Scripture for answers. It was an amazing scene last year to see thousands come together to assemble more than 500,000 family seed packs that have brought hope to many. Today, once-barren land is home to vegetable gardens yielding a sustainable income for the gardeners. This could not have been accomplished without the efforts of people coming together at Willow and heeding the promptings of God.
Celebration of Hope 2011 is right around the corner. Once again, we are excited about the opportunities and challenges that will be placed in front of the Willow family. Our prayer is that our hearts—together as a church—will grow in the things that are close to the heart of God: compassion and justice.
COH 2011 offers unique serving opportunities that require a little extra time and effort from those who are passionate about this cause. Please look over the following opportunities, dates, and times. Then as a next step, register. Thanks in advance. We are excited to see what God has planned!
