Cascade Hills DOES Church. The right way and for the right reasons. There’s not a day that the ministry they provide doesn’t impact lives one on one, locally & globally. This month they’ve given an enormous amount of groceries (over 600 bags already) to 4 local food banks for the homeless and hurting. The recent dollar per follower to Bill_Purvis @twitter provided a generous financial gift to Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Giving Tree Ministry of Cascade Hills asked every school counselor in the area to provide names of children in real need for Christmas. Thus far over 245 children have been helped. Here’s some of their stories; (1) a single mom with cancer and a totaled car has children ages 7,9 & 12. Her children like to read, so her only request was for a book per child. We’re doing much more, but that’s the heart of this mother. (2) Two little boys, ages 8 & 9, with no father, had the 9 yr old ask for a gift for his little brother because he thought we only offered one gift. We’re helping the entire family. (3) 6 children who live from relative to relative because they have no permanent home, will be provided for, and the list goes on and on. My wife recently bought and wrapped gifts for a family of 7 and loved every moment of it. Two of my best friends spent the day shopping for gifts for several families they adopted and I was amazed at how generous they were and the joy they felt. I’ve always said, “Givers ALWAYS have more than enough” and it’s a fact. Cascade Hills Church does ministry not just at Christmas, but all year long, every week, every day. Every week teams of people visit waiting rooms in local hospitals to provide snacks to those unable to leave since they’re waiting for loved ones in surgery. The number of ministries like this at CHC are huge and the heart of those behind them is even larger. That just one more reason I love Cascade Hills.
