P3--The Ultimate Mat Carriers

On Sunday, we focused on the story in Mark 2 where four buddies carried their friend lying on a mat to a house where Jesus was teaching. Since they couldn't get to him because of the crowd, they made a whole in the roof to lower him down, mat and all.

So we talked about the importance of having mat carriers during those times in which we find ourselves in need of help. We all need mat carriers. Don't be so proud or stupid or private or stubborn to try to carry that mat of yours all by yourself.

But some truly don't have mat carriers. Not for lack of want. They would love a mat carrier. But for some reason, they find themselves alone with their mat and now where to turn.

Is that you?

We have a ministry that majors in carring mats. It's called P3. It is a group of about 30 volunteers who will bring over a meal, play cards, pick up groceries, look after children or drive you to the doctor. Whatever you need. Please call me if you need a mat carrier. That's what they love to do.

Or, maybe you are willing to take up a corner and carry someone else's mat. P3 could always use more. Let me know if you want to serve as a mat carrier for someone else.

We all need mat carriers. And I have found God does his best healing through the gift of these mat carriers who step up and say, "I'll take a corner of that!"

Peace,
Pastor Scott
