TWO FOR ONE

Don’t you love it when you get a great two for one deal? Buy one meal and get the second free. Buy one jar of jelly and get a second one free. Really, who does not love to get two for one? Here is my point: How about two blessings for one? Saturday, April 30 is the Taste of James Island. The best church cooks from around the island will be putting their best dish forward. You can come and enjoy some of the most delicious food anywhere around AND support one of our favorite ministries…James Island Outreach. If you can, bring a jar of jelly or any canned good item to donate. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the ministry and to collect food. The cost of admission is one non-perishable item…like a jar of jelly! Remember James Island Baptist is the church family in charge of collecting jelly. You can bring absolutely anything though.

FAMILY FRIENDLY The event starts at 11:30 am and goes until 3:00 pm. In addition to the best food around, there will be raffles, good music and children’s activities. This would be a great opportunity to involve your children in giving back to the community. You will see old friends and can make some new ones if you want to. We will have many churches from a variety of backgrounds participating. What a testimony to the love and grace of God that can bring us all together for fellowship and mission.

Two for one…how can you beat a deal like that? Think of the wonderful irony…by eating and enjoying great food we are helping the hungry. Only God can do that kind of wonderful work.

All kidding aside, think of the mission of James Island Outreach: No one on James Island goes to bed hungry unless we don’t know about it. Your ongoing gifts and support make this ministry a success. We have several members from our church family that volunteer regularly. We collect tons of jelly every year and we support JIO financially as well. Way to go JIBC. Job well done…jam up and jelly tight!
