Mid-Hudson Love In the Name of Christ PRAYER Update – April 1, 2019

This past weekend we celebrated Mid-Hudson Love INC’s Tenth Anniversary. PRAISE GOD for His faithfulness throughout this journey! Thank Him for the many servants who have worked to establish this ministry in our community. Pray that we would discern God’s will for Love INC as we move forward and continue to build relationships that lead to transformation.

This past Friday, about 65 people attended a workshop on Redemptive Compassion sponsored by Mid-Hudson Love INC. Pray that we will put the principles we learned there into action, helping people to see their value and to move into the full and abundant life that is their through Christ. Pray that Christians would be moved to action and that the Church would unite in this mission to our neighbors.

Pray about how God may be calling YOU to serve through Love INC. A great way to start is to attend our Introduction to Collaborative Christian Ministry Serving Local People in Need on Tuesday, April 2, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Love INC office (94 Market Street, Poughkeepsie). Learn about Love INC ministry opportunities and where your unique gifts might fit in ministry. It’s not too late to RSVP to Jewel Ratzlaff, Volunteer Coordinator (845-896-4126 or info@mhlinc.org).

Please pray that our immediate need for volunteer drivers for our upcoming Relational Ministry classes will be filled. Most of our clients cannot attend class without transportation. We have two new classes starting in April and we need both men and women drivers. Can you help? A six-week class on Wednesday nights at New Beginnings (35 De Garmo Rd, Poughkeepsie) begins this week. This class begins at 6:00 and ends at 7:30 p.m. A four-week class on Thursday nights at Poughkeepsie United Methodist Church (2381 New Hackensack Rd, Poughkeepsie) begins on April 11. This class begins at 6:30 and ends at 8:00 p.m. We put together our driving schedule to accommodate your schedule. Some people drive only before class, and others drive only after class. Some drive weekly, and others drive only occasionally. Call or text Volunteer Coordinator Jewel Ratzlaff at 845-416-5964 if you would like to help.
