ACTS OF KINDNESS CARDS
As a part of our continued Who’s Your
One emphasis, we want to carry out
random acts of kindness. Therefore, we
have created “Acts of Kindness” cards
and placed them on the tables in the
vestibule and outside the office. Take as
many as you want and use them to show
the love of Jesus. Some ideas include,
but not limited to the following:
Leave a big tip for your server at a
restaurant.
Pay for someone’s fast food meal
behind you in the drive through at a
restaurant.
Give baked goods or a small gift to
the postman or delivery person.
Pay for someone’s meal or dessert at
a restaurant.
Deliver fresh cookies to a neighbor or
co-worker.
Whatever we decide to do, let’s remem-
ber to leave the card with the Act of Kind-
ness! “But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, good-
ness, faithfulness.” (Galatians 5:22)
A THANK YOU NOTE
has been received and placed on the
bulletin board from Ramona & Jeff
Harmon.
