Guatemala Mission 2024

Guatemala Mission 2024

Church
Linder Road sent a team of 27 people, including several of our teens, to Guatemala to serve and encourage the Christians, the community, and our missionaries working there. For many team members, this was their first time on a service mission out of the country or in a third-world country. The vignettes in the above video explore the teens' impressions of being in another culture, communicating with speakers of another language, and serving others in ways that stretch their abilities.   https://www.youtube.com/live/B4P-Ip4g5Zs As we traveled through Guatemala, met people we had never known and worked in places doing things we may never have done before, we were confronted with the reality that the mission was not about us or what we thought should happen. The mission was about how God was…

Called Out - Life of Moses Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for…

Community Giveaway

Community Giveaway

Blog
On Saturday, March 30, 2024 several hundred people showed up at the Linder Road church of Christ between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm to participate in our annual Community Giveaway.  This event began in 2003 when two ladies had the idea to reach out to our community by freely sharing from our overflow of material blessings.  Members of the Linder congregation contribute gently used clothing, furniture, toys, books, and various household items for the event. Then, we invite our neighbors to come by and pick up whatever they need for free. Why do we continue doing this 20+ year old traditional event?  We want to be like the Lord we follow.  Jesus had compassion and cared for people, so we want to do the same. ”The Lord helps all who…

The Ninth Day of August

The Ninth Day of August

Church
“The Ninth Day of August It was the ninth day of August.  My Dad could not remember the exact year, only that it was before 1953 – the year that he graduated from high school.  But the day and the month have been etched in his memory for a long time.  Dad recounted the events of that difficult day to the Wednesday morning Bible class yesterday, which was also his 89th birthday. Dad’s Dad was a cotton farmer in West Texas.  For those familiar with the dry climate of West Texas, growing anything on a farm out there can be challenging.  Farming was and is a difficult way of life.  My Dad said that his father would borrow money every year to make it through the growing season.  Then when the cotton…
