A Good First Day's Work (Day 3)


Carter entertaining children of family who fed our team
Today our team began its work around the church. Today’s goal was to clean around the facility, as well as prepare it for the food packing and distribution that would take place later in the week. We split up into groups and teams that flowed between various jobs including wiping down walls, cleaning out refrigerators, buffing floors, sweeping, washing windows, cleaning work equipment, cleaning out gutters and a variety of other tasks. That is a quick description of what was a full and busy day.

Our lunch and dinner were provided by different families from within the church. These meals provide us with a great time to meet various people from the church on a more personal level. We continue to be overwhelmed by the gracious hospitality of the folks at this church. We have been given so much great food, our team has said they could skip a meal and not even miss it.
            I was grateful for the way our team jumped in this morning, ready and willing to do the work around the church. They all were flexible and supportive of each other. Toward the end of the afternoon, the team was continuing to ask Pastor Daniel if there was anything else that they could do around the church, because they genuinely wanted to help with the work and improvements of the church. 

            Tomorrow we will spend the day out collecting foods from other food banks in the region that will be dispersed on Thursday. This will give our team an opportunity to see more of the province of Quebec, and interact with other areas of the ministry beyond the church.

Just Because We Can Doesn't Mean We Should

Over the last ten weeks the sanctuary at First Baptist Monroe has sat dormant. Though we haven't been worshiping in that space, worship has continued via a more intimate setting in our church's choir room beamed up into airwaves for people to participate in on all manner of personal devices. I have missed being able to gather with our folks there, and when I walk through it now, something is definitely missing. It is a vast understatement to say the COVID-19 pandemic has overturned our very way of life. Restrictions on work, retail, recreational, and social activities have hit us all hard. Like a two year old toddler, the first instance or two of being told "no" might slip right by us, but after repeated denials, that opposition often grows into anger-filled defiance before generating fits of rage-fueled outbursts. It happens. Churches are no stranger to this as the recent push to allow congregants to gather in NC has made its way through the court system. ...

Lent: Not Just Another Resolution To Keep

Over the past few weeks, I have been amazed at the number of cultural and secular references I have both seen and heard in regards to what an individual is "giving up for Lent." Just last night, my favorite late night host, Jimmy Fallon, incorporated the question of "What are you planning to give up for Lent?" into one of his infamous skits with the audience and house band, The Roots. The common responses I have seen are sodas, sugars, coffee, social media, and cursing. All of these are certainly admirable goals and definitely would improve one's life, but sadly they negate the entire purpose behind the season of Lent. The ways in which I see people describing their "sacrifices" bears striking resemblance to language I am accustomed to hearing around New Years in regards to a person's resolution, and not about penance or reflection. You see the season of Lent is not about identifying traits that we want to improve in ourselves, but recognizing o...

Reconstructing Our Own "Cathedral of Innovation"

The other day I came across a fascinating article about a recent facility acquisition made by Audible, Inc., the Amazon subsidiary that provides audiobooks and other storytelling services on its well-designed app (of which I happen to be a frequent user). The company had purchased an old rundown building just down the street from its headquarters in Newark, NJ, believing it could be a center of innovation and development not only for the company’s products but also for their community. Your first thought is likely that what they purchased was a warehouse, a former storefront, or possibly an abandoned apartment building. What would you say if I told you what they purchased was a church? Yes, Audible, Inc. purchased what was formerly Newark’s Second Presbyterian Church. Having been constructed in 1933, the church at one time had as many as 10,000 members at its height in the middle of the 20th century. The church closed in 1995 due to declining membership and the space was used as a sc...
