MUST

On the first Wednesday of every month, my wife (Kelley) takes a group down the the MUST center in Smyrna to help serve the poor in our community. MUST ministries is an organization that was started years ago to meet needs of the homeless in Marietta and surrounding areas. They do a tremendous job of meeting these needs.

Of course, MUST could not do this without countless volunteers and donations for individuals, businesses and churches. Kelley has made it simple for our congregation to get involved in this ministry effort.

Yesterday I went with Kelley and 4 others to serve and these are my findings:

1) It is a small building in the middle of Smyrna where local residents can get food and clothing

2) The evening shift is relatively new so not many people took advantage of it being opened.

3) The love they show to this community is incredible. Reaching out to them with physical needs as well as training and job opportunities.

4) I had a great time hanging out and discussing DEEP theological topics. Well, at least they were deep for me.

Taking time to serve in this way is a great opportunity to reach out to the poor. It is an opportunity to meet others in our congregation and find out who they are. It is an opportunity to become more like Jesus.

When you check it out, let me know about your experience.
