Bags of blessings

Bags of Blessings (B.O.B.’s) are practical and spiritual helps for the homeless in our community. These bags are filled with toiletries, water, food, clothing, and of course a Bible and resources for help. These bags are available for you to use in starting that conversation to share the love of God and the hope in Jesus with others.

These bags run about $10 each to make. But for every connection card that is filled out (found in the church pews or at the connection corner) we will donate $5 to this ministry. Over the past 3 years we have given out over 500 bags to people in need in our community.

STEP #1: “SIGN IT OUT”

Pick up your bag at the connection corner in the foyer of the sanctuary. As you get one please sign out on the sheet that you are taking one. (We need to know who is taking them, and how often, so we can be a good steward of God’s resources)

STEP #2: “GIVE IT OUT”

Keep it in your car so when you pull up to intersections or wherever, you are ready to share it. But don’t just hand them out as “candy”. Remember these are a tool to open the door for you to share with them about Jesus.

STEP #3: “SHOUT IT OUT”

After giving a B.O.B. out we’d love for you to take a 30 second video of yourself from your phone sharing your experience and what God did. (Please don’t video yourself giving to someone in need. People need to be valued, not feel like they are your pet project). Send the video to info@calvarynorth.com and we will post them here to encourage others in the work of God.
