I Peter 4:10-11
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as
one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength
God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the
glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something
to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I
was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you
in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to
visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

GOOD
SAMARITAN SUNDAY
The Good Samaritan Center is an
organization supported by the churches of Douglas County to help
people in need with food and financial assistance in emergency
situations. This has been a valuable ministry in our county for more
than 19 years. The first Sunday of each month at Bright Star is Good
Samaritan Sunday. Please bring your donations of canned goods, or
other non-perishables and place in the designated bin. Ask your Sunday
School teacher or your child's Sunday School teacher about the contest
for the class that can bring the most cans each month. Below is a list
of items the center uses to fill a standard food order: Vegetable Soup,
Tomato Soup, Crackers, Chicken Noodle Soup, Peanut Butter, Apple Sauce,
Macaroni & Cheese, Instant Potatoes, Dry Milk, Mixed Vegetables, Corn,
Green Beans, English Peas, Butter Beans, Pinto Beans, Oatmeal, Salmon, Tuna,
Spaghetti & Sauce with Meat, Chicken & Dumplings. The Good
Samaritan Center is always happy to have volunteers, and we also ask
for your prayers that God continue to bless this ministry.
Special offerings are taken during the year for our
United Methodist benevolences and these include:
UMCommittee On Relief
