Richmond RiverRats host Salvation Army

The Richmond RiverRats once again played host to The Salvation Army on their last home game of the season.  Fans were greeted and given a Salvation Army “home run” bell as they entered McBride Stadium on Thursday, August 5.

The Salvation Army sold nearly 300 tickets to the game and in return the RiverRats donated 50% of the proceeds back to the Army.  “This is a very supportive community,” said Major Mark Litherland of the Richmond Salvation Army.  “They love the RiverRats and they love The Salvation Army.”

In addition to handing out the bells, Major Litherland had the honor of throwing out the first pitch.  “This is a great night,” said Major Litherland.  “Thanks to the support of RiverRats and their fans, we will be able to serve more people in need in our community.”  It was a good night for the RiverRats too, as they beat Slippery Rock 5 – 4.

Serving in His Steps

The Salvation Army had a theme of “Shaped to Serve” for our 2009 Worship year. With this we had a desire to be shaped by God to go out and serve.

For 2010 we will be building on this theme as we will be “Serving in HIS Steps.” Throughout the year Major Litherland will be developing his Sunday Sermons to reflect this theme to encourage us to go out and serve our fellowman as Jesus would serve.

With this Major Litherland has developed a list of things that each of our Church Members should do for our fellowman as we Serve in Jesus Steps. They include: Shoveling for a neighbor, writing a family member a letter expressing our love, sending a care package to our seminary students in Chicago, Helping neighbors prepare for spring or clean up a local park, treat someone to lunch anonymously, writing letters to kids at camp who would not normally get mail, treat someone to a cold drink on a hot day, do something special for a student returning to school, take a treat to the police or fire station to show graditude, help a neighbor prepare for fall and winter, send a “thank you” note to at least five people in your life, and treat a bell ringer to a hot drink.

All of these opportunities are to be done in Jesus Name alone. Never share your name or why you are doing this with the exception of thanking the person you are treating for allowing you to serve in Jesus Step.

Join us in this venture and see how much God will bless you for Serving in HIS steps.
