Some Relief and radio thursday! and Bird flu
Chapter 6
1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Progress Report: for AECH as done by Messiah's Branch
The web site at http://welcomehome.messiahsbranch.org/Default.htm
Has been filled with all currant data from AECH.
Inferfaith phone number and email is the only contact listed in the web site.
We have one DJ from 109 FM plugging the vigil. He is going to see if he can get 3 others stations to plug the vigil.
Some motorcycle rights groups and other groups have been notified about the vigil. They were told to be there by personal invitation at 6:45PM as was suggested to me at the vigil planning meeting this last Friday.
We expect good results but as most March meetings have already passed for these groups we might only reach half the numbers we hoped for.
I have emailed an invitation to all city council members and the mayor for the weekly meetings and the vigil. I was polite and even asked the Mayor if he wished to speak. We also sent them the address of the web site.
I notified the various TV stations with invitations to the weekly meetings and the vigil. Again I left Interfaith as contact for this. I also told them we were possibly looking for people to speak at the vigil. Web site address was given for more info.
I notified 23 members of the Delano Clergy association by email. I invited them to the weekly meetings and vigil. Also sent them the web address.
We are currently notifying other Churches and business people. We will be asking them to put fliers up and tell people as well as an open invitation to weekly meetings and the vigil.
I have already found my success story for the vigil and I am working on having a currant homeless person speak.
I believe we should contact the girl scouts and boy scouts about what we are doing and invite them to the vigil.
We also have a blogg on the web site that can be updated by sending an email. I suggest that this be given to Amy.
Suggestions:
I think we should not pass up the chance to ask for support monies at the vigil. Which to me brings this question? As there is no real AECH leadership committee so to speak. I strongly suggest that we start one now. Also I think we should get behind the interfaith shelter idea, if interfaith will allow access equally to all the various people or ministries etc that are from AECH. It is a great plan and interfaith has what we need already in place to achieve this. Otherwise we need to start planning now but again why pass up what is already done. I just think that some AECH leadership should be involved with the process of building the shelter. At any rate if we ask for donations now, which we should, we need a leadership group in place now.
I also strongly suggest after being in on the various meetings that simple rule should be followed at meetings, which are not now.
1. Only one person speaks at a time.
2. Hands should be raised and noted by meeting head and given the floor.
3. Others should be quiet until the floor is yielded
4. You will get much better input by this and we will be more organized as we should be.

The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee;
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace)
