Healing Place Church & SERVolution

copied from Dino Rizzo's Blog, the master mind behind SERVolution
 
 
We had a great time last night at HPC with the PB & Shaq Challenge presented by Feed the Children. Shaquille O’Neal, Larry Jones and I got to spend a few minutes talking together about a few things, but the most important topic was the children that Larry Jones and Feed the Children are helping. The challenge was to bring as many jars of peanut butter as possible to help Feed the Children in their efforts to provide nutrition for hungry, underprivileged kids. Well, HPC, you went over the top - they told us this was one of the biggest collections they’ve done so far. One family brought 1,400 jars! That’s a whole lotta PB!
 
It was fun to get to have Shaq with us. I so appreciate his heart to help a cause like Feed the Children. And lemme tell you… the dude is huge. I don’t think I really had an understanding of what 7′1″, 320 lbs really looked like before last night. Amazing guy with a great heart. And I was so honored to get to meet Larry Jones. He and his organization is such a class act. Great integrity and passion for what they do.
 
And all of it fit so well with the 7 Days of Servolution - God’s perfect timing. Thanks to all of you who came and brought peanut butter. Thanks for the phenomenal heart you have to serve. It is truly overwhelming to see your love in action in this servolution.

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
