For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me . . . And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” – Matthew 25:35, 40 ESV

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. - Romans 12:15
Whether it be sending a card to someone who just had surgery or lost their job, sending flowers to a loved ones’ funeral, or a small basket at the birth of a precious baby; it could be mowing the yard of someone who is ill, or making sure we provide rides for a widow who cannot otherwise get to church – these all show our members that Connect cares for them, they are important and belong to a family that strives to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
