Pastor Tom interviewed by Mission America

Phil Miglioratti from Mission America Coalition recently interviewed Pastor Tom about the homeless outreach at our church. This is the program description that appears with the podcast link:

What Happens When A Prayer-Care-Share Congregation Feeds the Homeless?

Pastor Tom Severson shares the inspiring story of how the simple act of showing mercy to the poor has increased unity across the Church in their city, resulted in dozens of persons finding release from their addictions, families healed, and transformed his understanding of discipleship. Instructive inspiration!

Sugar, the Bitter Truth

I wanted to share the best video on contemporary health issues that I have seen in years. It's about 90 minutes, but give it five minutes and it will be hard to stop. Click here for "Sugar, the Bitter Truth." There was a follow-up article on the video published in the New York Times, and you can click here for that. Let me know what you think.

Blessings,

Tom

Swing a Hammer for the Hunts

Chris and Sarah Hunt are officially on the volunteer calendar with Habitat for Humanity, and now all they need is volunteers! The house has been gutted, and rebuilding will soon be underway.

Workdays will typically be on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Check out Sarah's blog to see photos and find out how to sign up with Habitat to help with the build. Be sure when you register to list yourself as "Family Partners and Friends" so the Hunts can benefit from your hours!
