makes the whole day feel like a giant pep rally for the community! Kindness outreaches provide an opportunity for volunteers to reach out with an act of kindness, look someone in the face, and tell them, "God loves you- no strings attached." You'd be amazed at how many people feel as if they need to make a donation or do something to receive the kindness given. To receive a gift for free, no matter how big or small, within a context of love and kindness, moves people deeply. These are life-giving gestures that provide hope and communicate God's care to each person touched. The radical notion that God loves us without our need to earn God's love gets translated today in concrete ways.
