Hey brothers,
 
I hope your quarters are going well and that you are staying warm. I'm so 
excited that the 5K this year will benefit Good Works :) I have a very 
meaningful service opportunity combining Central Church and Good Works, so if 
you are interested in serving people struggling with poverty while practicing 
prayer through action, read on... 
 
The Good Work's Timothy House provides shelter for the rural homeless in 9 
southeast Ohio counties. Both the Timothy House and Central Avenue Church are 
located on Central Avenue (imagine that!). Central, an open-minded and vital 
community of Christ followers initiated the "Breakfast at Timothy's" for a 
small group of college students last Fall. I joined and our group provided and 
prepared breakfast for people staying at the Timothy House on Sunday mornings. 
After sharing a meal, we discussed our experiences and then discussed passages 
from "Sharing God's Heart for the Poor" which is truly enlightening 
literature. 
 
Breakfast at Timothy's was led by a Good Works staff member in the Fall, but 
they asked group members to lead the Breakfast in the Winter. I decided to 
lead and I'd love to give my brothers the same chance for growth that I was 
provided. I'm looking for a committed group to provide, prepare, and practice 
faith through serving this winter. 
The committment would be:
Sundays beginning February 1st - March 15 (you can miss one if needed!)
8:45AM-10:50AM Sunday mornings (optional 11:00 service at Central to follow)
 
I thought this winter was the perfect time to bring this up with APhiO's Good 
Works 5K! I haven't spoken with the service girls, but I'm assuming that this 
could count for hours...Please let me know if you are interested or have any 
questions. Stay warm!
 
In LFS,
Sjanneke
