Love deeply with Hurricane relief, Habitat help, Trunk or Treat, etc
Dear Church,
WHY SHOULD WE “LOVE EACH OTHER DEEPLY”?
Well, the reason Peter gives is that “the end of all things is near.” And “because love covers over a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:7-9)
HOW SHOULD WE “LOVE EACH OTHER DEEPLY”?
By “offering hospitality to each other” (serve in greeting ministry, welcoming people who you might not recognize on a Sunday morning or at the grocery store).
By “using whatever gift you have received to serve others” (like giving to or going on the mission trip to Florida to help, like joining the Habitat Faith Build, like joining in Trunk or Treat, or volunteering in other ways at Stillmeadow or in our community).
“So that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 4:10-11)
My Prayer:
Jesus, you loved deeply…so much that you were willing to suffer for love. Would you arm your church with the attitude that is ready to suffer to show the goodness of your love? We confess that we shy away from pain or prefer security and safety, but sometimes that results in sin and acts of unlove. Help us love like you did. For God’s glory and the good of our community.

Responding To Hurricane Ian
The love of Christ compels us to help with the clean up.
We are sending a team to Fort Myers, where two of our very own Stillmeadow Nazarenes have a home. Randy and JoAnn Hull will be leading a team to help clean up their neighborhood. Nearly 400 homes in their neighborhood sustained damage from the storm.
Will you join the team in Florida?
We are tentatively planning a trip for Oct 16-23. The cost for travel and lodging is covered by Stillmeadow’s Disaster Relief Fund. Sign up on the form at www.stillnaz.com/hurricane-ian.
Will you support the team financially and prayerfully?
Stillmeadow keeps a “Disaster Relief Fund” to mobilize teams to go and help where disaster strikes. Donate to the fund by check with “Disaster” in the memo line, or give online at the button below and select Miscellaneous and type “Disaster” in the “Note” section.
