This is our moment. A moment filled with opportunity. As ladies and their families make their way each month to enjoy a free oil change from volunteers at Central Assembly, a larger opportunity is at stake: An opportunity to love...an opportunity to embrace their friendship...an opportunity to influence. When you look at the larger outreach picture, there are multiple points of entry for people to enter our community of friendship at Central Assembly. The oil change is one of them; but it's a unique opportunity especially designed for reaching out to single moms. Let's maximize this entry point! God has created us to do something. Can you look back on your life and remember times when specific moments made a huge difference in the future of your life? Even moments that appear to be mundane, often later appear to be a turning point in the direction of one's life. Have you ever thought about the "moment" the single moms experience when they come to the oil change? Does it make an eternal difference in their life? It just might. Maybe a time of prayer with a lady from the interaction team. Maybe just a reflection on the hard work and effort put in by those who serve on the oil change team. Maybe a kind word from someone who greets them at the registration area, or the loving interaction shown to their children in the kid's area.
Let' seize this divine moment! I encourage you to take initiative in the small, but very important details of interaction with these ladies and their kids.
