Caring
Basket Ministry & Welcome Committee

"Say
not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?
behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest."
(John 4:35)
Our goal with our caring baskets is to reach those who are
living without the Lord in their life, and to let them know we
care and are praying for them. We know at some point in
time and maybe even right now, we all
have needed to know that
someone cared and was praying for us.
Our basket contains several things that will point them to
Christ in some way. Some of these items are: a Bible,
Books, Candles, Candy, Bookmark, and various other items as we
are always adding something different.
The following comes from a bookmark that we
placed in each basket:
This
basket holds these things, just as the Lord
holds you and I.
The soap cleans our
body and the Lord cleans our heart.
This candle
lights up a dark room, and the Lord lights up our life.
The candy is good
and is to remind us that the Lord is good.
The cup of tea is
a reminder, to spend time quietly with God.
The BIBLE--God's Word to us.
In the times spent quietly with God & His
Word, we see He holds us together, cleanses our sins, lights up
our life &He is good to each & everyone of us.
Welcome Committee
(a branch of Caring Baskets)
Every new visitor to our church is welcomed by our "Welcome
Committee." We, as a church realize that coming into a new
place, with new faces is often not an easy thing to do. We
want to take that extra step to make each person feel at home.
That is how this project got started.
We hand out a bookmark, pen (with church info) and other
different items. Also, we ask that each new visitor fill
out a card, just simply asking, their name and address so that
the church can stay in contact with them.
Our goal with both of these ministries is to share God's love
with others, and to let people know that God cares for them and
we here at Campbell Chapel do too!!! Each basket, most
importantly, includes our love & prayers, and each new visitor
will leave here knowing we are praying for them. We love
love them and we care for them!
As each day draws to a close
and you settle down to sleep.
Please know: You have been in our
thoughts throughout the day and now,
as we too end our day, we offer you up
once more to God. And when tomorrow
comes, our prayers will continue to be with you!
Love & Prayers,
Campbell Chapel
