Community Connections put simply is a ministry that has partnered with the Food Bank to distribute food to the community. Of course it is much more than just feeding people, it allows us to care for their needs and engage them on a personal level.
To the volunteers, CC is a place where we can use our gifts of the spirit to help others; it is a tangible way to show our love of Christ and share it with the community. Our vision is to have so many volunteers that we can talk one on one with everyone we serve and share our testimonies with them. We want the love of Christ to be translated through us into every action.
The bottom line is this, we want to make a positive impact on our community and let them know that we are not just a social club or a privileged group of people. We are just like them, broken, hungry, and lost and in need of a Saviour.
One of my favorite sayings that describes this state; I can’t remember who coined it first, “I am just one hungry person, telling another hungry person, where I have found bread.”
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
