<\/p>\nDuring this Advent season, as we anticipate the incarnation, Immanuel, God with us, we hear the admonition to be ready, to watch.\u00a0 We will remember God\u2019s preparation for His Son to enter our world through Mary, Joseph and John the Baptist who was preparing the way.\u00a0We also remember their long journey as strangers in a strange land.\u00a0 We remember the neglect of those around them forcing the Holy Family to a cow stall for Christ\u2019s birth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bed Brigade Grove City is a service ministry partnering with St. John\u2019s Evangelical Lutheran Church to provide much needed beds and the hope of Jesus to the Columbus, Ohio area. In 2017, the Bed Brigade visited over 200 homes and families, giving away 560 beds, as well as distributing 560 Bibles and Bible storybooks to recipients of the beds. Please join us in prayer that the adults and children are impacted to the point where there are choices made for love instead of violence or abuse; that some choose to reach out to Jesus instead of drugs; and that hope can grow in many hearts leading them out of the cycle of poverty.<\/p>\n
