Personally I find a lot of joy in September. There have been a couple of mornings lately that I have actually been cold. I drove to work with my seat heater on and I loved it. But we also need to make time for some intentional joy too.
You all know that giving or doing something for someone else is one of my favorite hobbies. I know that many of you feel the same way because you always show up so generously. Well this month’s joy focus is doing something for others. Now if you need a little idea about how you might do this, I have a suggestion for you. I am a big fan of the Christian Job Corps. They help men and women realize there is still hope and support them in becoming productive. The participants meet for classes and volunteers can provide lunches.
At the First Baptist Church Site, lunch is provided every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The Gurley site will have lunch every Tuesday.
The Men’s Site at West Huntsville Baptist have lunch every Saturday.
Lunches can be as simple as sandwiches and chips, pizza, salads, or box lunches to homemade meals or catered items.
Use these links to sign up for the location of your choice First Baptist Church Lunch, Gurley Lunch, the West Huntsville Baptist Lunch
You can also make a donation to cover lunches by contacting them at cjcdirector@cwjc.net or calling 256-428-7435.
You could go solo or better yet, call up a few friends and jointly cover lunches for some of these sessions.
What a joyful opportunity to support this great organization as they support those in need in our community!
Thanks for sharing this! I love September! It goes by so fast. I’ve been enjoying waking up and sitting out in my backyard on Saturday early mornings. I love the cool crisp air.🩵
