Inviting conversation about Love INC

Over the next seven days, I am going to blog about Love In the Name of Christ, and I'd like these blog posts to serve as not only information and an introduction to Love INC, but also as an invitation for comments, hopes and dreams, ideas, questions, or concerns from a cross-section of friends around the Cedar Valley.

To comment on a post, you must first sign in up in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. You may sign in and comment anonymously or identify yourself. Then, under each post, you can click on "comments" if you wish to make one. I thought this would be a good venue for discussion as the foundation for Love INC gets laid here in the Cedar Valley. Please join in the conversation!

Love INC (http://www.loveinc.org/) is a Christian ministry that networks churches together to better serve those in need in our community. The mission of Love INC is to mobilize the Church to transform lives and communities In the Name of Christ.

Love INC is:

- a strategy to help churches help their neighbors in need.

- a network of churches that link volunteers to people in need.

-a cooperative effort between churches and service agencies to provide effective help for the disadvantaged.

-a vehicle that helps churches, collectively and individually, fulfill their biblical mandate to reach out to those in need.

For any of you who are already somewhat familiar with Love INC, how do you see it filling a need in the Cedar Valley?

For those of you who are relatively unfamiliar with Love INC, stay tuned over the next week...
