Emphasis Preaching Journal

Many years ago, a group of women began sewing small bags and then collecting personal items to donate to one of the downtown churches that housed homeless people. The women enjoyed each other's company as they met in each other's homes. They felt they were making a difference in the lives of those down and out because of difficult situations.

The pastor, as well as the congregation, thanked these women for all that they did. Martha even has a letter from the governor recognizing and thanking the group for their years of service to the homeless.
