I can't remember our churches actually reaching out to provide for the physical needs of the less fortunate in the community.
We did provide much love and support for those who regularly attended church. If there was a death in the family, the ladies were on the ball bringing covered dishes and the men helping in any way they could. The congregation surrounds their own with care and concern. That is wonderful and good, but what about those outside the doors of the church?
Just a thought...

Our church does. In fact it is becoming a focus.
