The 2012 edition of Love Loud impacted the neighborhood of Highlands South today with our largest ever Health Fair and Fall Festival. In addition to the health related events, we provided automobile maintenance, children’s and family ministry outreach, home repairs for the elderly and families in need, and much more.
Mom and I, this morning, were apart of a service to Moms of Special Needs Children. We, along with a group of ladies from our church, provided these women with free massages, facials, card making, and mom and I did manicures. It was such a blessing to pamper these sweet ladies. Although we didn't know them, we were able to carry on conversations with these women and most of the time just listen to encourage. We only had three or four ladies come but we were able to be more personal with them and give each of them their own special attention, which was awesome!
At about noon we were finished and so we packed up and went to the Highlands to check out what all was going on there. It was quite amazing to see all the people and kids that came out! A bunch of the youth from our church came to do face painting... and the children loved that!
They also had a bounce house and some other activites for the children to do. They served hot dogs for lunch, which dad helped cook early this morning.
They offered automobile maitenence and a variety of things at the Health Fair. We had waterbottles with the church information on it that we handed out to the people.
It was just an amazing day! It's a totally different experience going out of the church walls. Instead of taking the people to the church, we took the church to the people in an awesome way. We were able to serve our community and love on them with the love of Christ! Nothing is better....
"Motion Of Mercy"by Francesca Battistelli
I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help
I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself away…
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Now I’m filled by a love
That calls me to action
I was empty before now I’m drawn to compassion
And to give myself away
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Living for the lost
Loving ‘til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That’s the motion of mercy
God give me strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that’s coming soon
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help
I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself away…
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Now I’m filled by a love
That calls me to action
I was empty before now I’m drawn to compassion
And to give myself away
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Living for the lost
Loving ‘til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That’s the motion of mercy
God give me strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that’s coming soon
That’s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That’s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
